Wolf season started without the hoopla surrounding the 2009 in Idaho. There are fewer people out hunting this year. As of Tuesday 7,774 resident tags and 571 non-resident tags have been sold. That compares to 25,744 resident tag in 2009 and 684 non resident tags. Idaho Department of Fish and Game big game manager Jon Rachael expects license sales to pick up as hunters get ready for deer and elk seasons this fall. Hunters can shoot two wolves this year. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game did not set an overall limit but it’s Director Virgil Moore said they will shut down hunting once biological limits are met in specific areas. The agency offers wolf hunting information on its website/Rocky Barker, Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Would you shoot a wolf if you had the chance to do so?
