The backup plan for wolf hunt

Idaho Fish & Game will start selling tags for the state's first wolf hunt on Monday at 10 a.m., but it does have a backup plan in case opponents win a court injunction to block the hunt: If an injunction comes through, tag-buyers who haven't started their wolf hunts could get refunds for the tags. "If the wolf season is blocked before September 1, hunters who have bought a wolf tag would be eligible for a refund," Fish & Game announced. "If the season is blocked on or before Oct. 9, hunters who can show in good faith they did not hunt may be eligible for a refund. The hunter must submit a request for refund by Dec. 31 on a Fish and Game form along with the original wolf tag." Fish & Game commissioners have set a wolf hunting season, starting in September, for up to 220 wolves, a quarter of the state's wolf population.
