Guv won’t need to bid on wolf tag…

In 2007, Idaho Gov. Butch Otter told cheering, camouflage-bedecked hunters at a snowy rally on the Statehouse steps, “I’m prepared to bid for that first ticket to shoot a wolf myself.” But it turns out no bidding is necessary - for Idaho’s first public wolf hunt, the tags will be sold everywhere Idaho big game tags are sold, including all Idaho Fish and Game offices, online, and private vendors such as Cabela’s. Sales will start at 10 a.m. next Monday, Aug. 24 - unless a federal court issues an injunction to stop the hunt.
