Idaho governor sends sympathy, offers Oregon 150 wolves
Today's offer came in a tongue-in-cheek letter where Otter sarcastically apologized to Kitzhaber after an Idaho hunter killed a wolf from an Oregon pack that strayed across Idaho's border to the east, according to a report by the Associated Press.
On Feb. 2, the Idaho hunter killed a brother of an Oregon wolf that became a celebrity by wandering hundreds of miles into Northern California looking for a mate.
Otter, no fan of the mid-1990s wolf reintroduction to central Idaho, offered Kitzhaber "my sincerest apologies."
Then, Otter said he'd have the Idaho Fish and Game Department round up another 150 wolves -- or any number Oregon needed or was willing to take.
