Yesterday, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management approved an expanded permit for a wolf- and coyote-hunting derby in east-central Idaho, authorizing the event on 3 million acres of public land over a three-day period in January, with the permit good for five years. Just two hours later, four environmental groups filed a lawsuit challenging the permit, the AP reports. The derby took place last year on private land; hunters killed 21 coyotes but no wolves. This year, organizers expect up to 150 hunters to take part; click below for a full report from AP reporter Keith Ridler/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
