BH: Wolves Aren’t Easy To Shoot

I’ve seen wolves in Yellowstone, at a distance so great you could only see them as specks through a high power spotting scope.  I’ve seen one wolf in Idaho, who appeared quite suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly; even had I been holding a loaded rifle with the safety off I doubt that I could have taken it.  I don’t think most of the other 4000+ hunters who have purchased tags are going to have much better luck either.  Perhaps, like me, they want that tag in their pack while they’re out after deer or elk?  The “just in case” tag, so to speak?  We’ll see.  I think the wolves in Idaho, as a species, are safe.  And as smart as they are, a little hunting pressure is only going to make them harder to take/ BillH , Free In Idaho!

Question: Do you think Idaho hunters will be able to shoot and kill the allotted 220 wolves this year?
