Item: States, including Idaho, ready for first open wolf hunts/Matthew Brown, AP
More Info: Montana and Idaho are moving to host the first open gray wolf hunts in the continental United States after the animal’s removal from the endangered list across much of the Northern Rockies. Montana wildlife commissioners voted Wednesday to let hunters throughout the state shoot 75 wolves, or 15 percent of Montana’s population, beginning in mid-September. In Idaho, commissioners meet later this month to set their quota. A prior plan called for hunting almost 250 wolves.
Question: Would you like to hunt for a wolf?

I can’t imagine that they are good eating, but the hides are probably pretty useful.
Perhaps you could make some General Tso’s Wolf?

No way. These top predators are of great value to the ecosystems in which they live.
