Could be days or weeks?

Jenny Harbine, attorney with Earthjustice, the environmental law firm that’s representing the conservation groups that sued over wolf delisting, said of today’s court proceedings, “Well, obviously we didn’t get a ruling, and the judge stated that he would issue a ruling expeditiously. We don’t know exactly what that means, so it could come within a matter of days or within a matter of weeks, and of course the Idaho wolf hunt will start tomorrow.”

For his part, Idaho state Rep. Marv Hagedorn, R-Meridian, plans to leave at 3 a.m. to head up into the Sawtooth zone on a wolf hunt. Hagedorn said he’s not counting on bagging an elusive wolf. “We call it hunting and not finding for a reason,” he said. “It’s more of a celebration of gaining our right as a state to manage our wildlife again, all of our wildlife.”
