Texas billionaires lock out hunters

Steve Wolfinger was planning to go on what was his first Idaho elk hunt starting Saturday in Adams and Valley counties. But a week before he was planning to get on a jet to fly from his home in Arkansas, the 70-year-old got a letter from Regan Berkley, an Idaho Department of Fish and Game wildlife manager from McCall. She told him that private land recently owned by Potlatch Corp . that covers much of the unit where he planned to hunt is now closed. DF Development , the new owners of the 172,000 acres of timberland and a vast road system in Adams , Valley and Boise counties, informed Fish and Game that the land will no longer be open to hunting.
