First North Idaho wolf kill reported

The Spokesman-Review
A wolf was shot in the Marble Creekl area of the St. Joe River drainage Thursday during the opening day of wolf season in the Idaho Panhandle.
The area is home to the Marble Mountain wolf pack, which established itself about 10 years ago. Two other packs also have territory in that area, said Jim Hayden, regional wildlife manager for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
The wolf shot was a male. Hayden said the hunter, whose name was not released, is from Moscow, Idaho.
Thirty wolves can be taken in the Idaho Panhandle during the season, which runs through Dec. 31.

Congratulations!!!
Another great contribution of mankind. I hope this hunter from Boise feels extremely proud of himself. Karma is a wonderful thing, it hits you when you least expected it.

Karma can be a Bi#ch
…or perhaps a she-wolf.

Just thins out the dumb wolves so the rest get better. When will we learn to stay out of wolf country!
I’m hearing elk hunting is much more aerobic than it used to be.

If elk wander into wolf country, what do you expect? Snowmobilers senselessly kill more elk each winter than wolves, no comparison. Yet nobody’s proposing a hunting season on snowmobilers as appealing as that prospect might be.
