Mike,

I am glad to see that the current Federal administration has turned this over to Idaho and Montana to manage the wolf populations in their respective states.  There is a definite need for management!  On the news tonight, there was a segment about the de-listing (again)and the groups who will file suit to stop the de-listing once again.  I can't see their disapproval.  The Idaho Fish & Game Commission has set a population quota of over 500 for pack populations, while the USF&W Service has set 150 as the minimum population for our state.  

The bear and mountain lion populations in Idaho are doing well and the F&G can manage the wolf population as well.  They need to get on with management to help our elk and deer populations recover from the predations.  I wonder if anybody will get a wolf with their bow?
