Wolf Hunt Plan Calls For No Limits

Idaho is planning a fall wolf hunt with no overall limit - and no limits in four zones, the Panhandle, Lolo, Selway and Middle Fork zones - because of “documented impacts to elk and other prey species in those zones,” Idaho Fish and Game officials announced today. It’s also planning a trapping season for wolves in the fall, in an effort to reduce the wolf population by more than the 188 animals taken in the state’s first wolf hunt in 2009/Betsy Russell & Becky Kramer, SR.

Question: As wily as wolves are, do you think they'll still be OK, populationwise, without a bag limit in Idaho?
