Aggressive wolf management favored in comments on Idaho elk plan

Wolf management a factor in updating Idaho’s elk plan
Among the 1,203 people who reviewed Idaho’s proposal to update its 1999 elk management plan, 442 people commented and 150 of those people urged more aggressive wolf management to help protect elk populations.

Craig White, the plan coordinator, said while aggressive wolf management would be part of the plan in some areas of the state, in others where elk numbers are so high that crop damage is a problem, management of the predators would be limited to keeping them away from cows and sheep.
