ferjr,
Thanks for the thread. I have been fighting this disaster called "grey" wolf re-introduction for more than 10 yrs now. I see you are in Idaho, and I am from Central Or. I am wondering if you have been a resident in this area long enough to have seen resident wolves in our region before 1995? We did have occasional wolf sightings, markings prior to the Gov. Project release of CL Occidentalis. I believe, as do many others, that we had resident, rarely seen native wolves in our region PRIOR to the Gov. attempt at playing eco-gods and bringing in CLO from northern Can. and Ak. along with the spread of E.G. commonly known as hydatid cyst disease. I see this as eco terrorism. I believe every individual involved in this "re-introduction" program should face criminal charges as terrorists to the health and common wealth of our lands, public and private....(IMHO)
I hear Id. has set season information and hope to be able to purchase a tag for wolf this fall. $186 is quite steep since you have such a problem in most areas, however, IF&(no)G have to cover their salary somehow.
