Local Man Bags 180-Pound Wolf

Item: Coeur d'Alene High grad shoots wolf in St. Joe River area: First hunting season for animals ends March 31/Bill Buley, Coeur d'Alene Press

More here: Pitcher dropped it with one shot from his 7mm Remington. "We've been going after wolf," Pitcher said. "We finally caught up with one." That brought the total number of wolves killed to 17 in the Panhandle - two so far in February - with a quota of 30. Statewide, 159 wolves have been killed out of the 220 quota. The wolf season ends March 31.

Question: How come lawmakers are busy trying to shut down access to the names of hunters and fishermen, to protect them from harassment, when wolf hunters here and elsewhere don't seem to mind have their photo taken with their kill for the paper?
