Idaho Targets 25% Of Wolves

Idaho will start selling tags next Monday for its first-ever public wolf hunt, to give hunters from both inside and outside the state a shot at up to 220 of Idaho’s wolves, or about 25 percent. Idaho’s Fish and Game Commission set the numbers for the wolf hunt this afternoon, a decision that was closely watched both by hunters who’ve been deluging Fish and Game with inquiries about the hunt, and by wolf advocates who maintain the state’s going too far to target a species that until May was considered endangered/Betsy Russell, SR.

Question: Did Idaho set a bounty on too many wolves? Too few? Just right?
