Idaho Department of Fish and Game Director Cal Groen sent letters offering up Idaho wolves to any state that wanted to manage them.

So far, at least 20 states have rejected Idaho's pitch to trap and export some of its wolves.

nobody wants them...

In May, the federal government removed more than 1,300 wolves in Montana and Idaho from the endangered species list. Environmentalists have sued to restore federal oversight.

The Massholes in Boston don’t want cute little wolves munching on their kitty cats? Who would’ve thunk it?

Do them like the greenies did to other states, just bring in about 50 and turn them loose as protected species. Who cares what they think? Do it to them anyway,,,its the Democrat way. Afterall, the Fish and Game Nazis are smarter than the citizens............

This is a hoot. I remember when they passed this and sent letters, am happy to see they’re following up on it and SURPRISE! There have been no takers.

This says a lot about the eco and animal rights nuts, they want them in your backyard but not theirs. I guess they don’t have much pull in the states that turned down the offer.

This wolf offer will not get media attention as it exposes the ecos lies.

I'm working in San Diego right now, but my 30-06 is waiting in Idaho. It is sighted-in and ready. Just a matter of issuing the tags. The damn wolves have been sighted in Blackfoot and Soda Springs. That puts them with 20 to 40 miles of my house.

” Environmentalists have sued to restore federal oversight.”

Environmentalists want wolves to thin out the human population. I say we accommodate them by feeding them to the wolves.

Imagine that...no other state wants to take any livestock and ungulate-killing predators off our hands. Gee...I guess that means there will be that many more for us Idahoans to shoot!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
