Idaho’s gray wolf population fell by 11 percent in 2012, less than wildlife managers hoped for considering the state’s extended hunting and trapping seasons plus agency animal control efforts. Continue reading
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho wildlife officials are considering paying private trappers to kill wolves roaming in specific hunting zones where wolves have had a significant impact on elk populations.
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is mulling several different ideas for using fewer than a dozen proven trappers as way to more affordably and effectively manage and reduce wolf numbers in three northern hunting zones. Continue reading
HOWLColorado received news of the death of 832F, perhaps the most famous of all of Yellowstone’s remaining wolves, last Saturday via an email from a devastated advocate. The news was both saddening, and yet inevitable. Continue reading
While we wolf advocates are not in a position to stop trapping at this point, we can certainly make sure people who are in trapping areas know EXACTLY how to disable any trap which has gotten hold of your pet. Continue reading
In Montana and Idaho in 2009, gray wolves were prematurely removed from the federal endangered species list. The decision left these magnificent predators subject to state management plans that were crafted to satisfy hunters and ranchers rather than to protect wolves. Continue reading

BOISE, Idaho— The Center for Biological Diversity sent letters to both the Forest Service and Idaho Attorney General, Lawrence Wasden, today requesting investigations into the actions of a Forest Service employee, Josh Bransford, who posted photos of a wolf he had trapped in northern Idaho that had been maliciously and non-fatally shot by people who spotted the animal from a nearby road.
“A year ago, that wolf was protected as a member of an endangered species, but last month he was trapped, tortured and killed thanks to an underhanded congressional rider that’s also responsible for the deaths of hundreds of other wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains,” said the Center’s Michael Robinson. “A lack of respect for the balance of nature is leading to a war on wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains.” Continue reading
Idaho Department of Fish and Game officials say they are “encouraged” by the state’s wolf harvest so far, but further control actions may be needed to keep elk populations up in parts of the state. Continue reading
After years of rumor, this week photos of a federal aerial gunner and pilot in an Idaho plane, the Killer Bee, suddenly surfaced. The yellow Piper Supercub plane, adorned with 58 wolf-paw stickers, stimulated an outpouring of emotion from wolf lovers. Each decal represented a wolf that federal agents of the Wildlife Services killed as of 2006, when the photos were taken. Continue reading
As of the latest updates, 260 wolves are dead, but that’s not enough blood as one state debates extending their season and the other has… well… no intention of stopping any time soon. Continue reading

HAILEY – For the past four years, Wood River Valley sheep haven’t been afraid of the big, bad wolf.
There are just poignant, and somber moments that most be observed as this year’s bloody massacre continues just hundreds of miles north of Colorado. Passing 200 dead wolves AND the return of trapping are certainly two of those moments… and they both happened November 15.
CALDWELL, Idaho (AP) — Idaho’s first wolf trapping season since the predators lost federal protections this year starts Tuesday, and a trapping supply shop says it’s already boosted revenue.
(AP) PASADENA, Calif. — Wildlife advocates appeared in federal court Tuesday seeking to stop gray wolf hunts that are already well under way in the Northern Rockies, arguing that Congress overstepped its authority in stripping federal protections from the canines.
It’s been a little while since I last updated the site. Sure, there have been plenty of stories I saw that I could post, but it all paled in comparison to the massacre happening just north of Colorado.
Montana raises their quota, as planned, to over 200, but wolves are proving quite elusive. Idaho hunters are killing wolves at a pace of more than one a day.
