Rocky Barker/Idaho Statesman discusses that job opening in Nampa for a wolf biologist: "What it does not say is you have to take crank calls from hunters who blame you for allowing these “Canadian wolves” to decimate elk populations and keep them from bagging their elk. You also will be called a wolf slaughterer every time a wolf has to be killed for management purposes. You will get the occasional rancher who will blame you for all his livestock losses right after the call from the wolf lover who says you are not doing enough to help him see wolves in the wild.
