Hunters purchased nearly 2,600 wolf licenses Monday, the first day they went on sale in Montana.
The sales occurred on the same day U.S. District Judge Mike Molloy of Missoula heard arguments from animal rights and environmental groups seeking to block hunts in Idaho and Montana. Idaho's hunt started Tuesday as Molloy took the arguments under consideration.
the slower sales — compared to the 4,000 sold on the first day licenses were available in Idaho — might have been due to the uncertainty of the court decision.
If the hunt is halted before the season starts, holders will be refunded their $19 license fee.

It would be very cool to have a taxidermied wolf on the living room mantle.

It would be very cool to have a taxidermied wolf on the living room mantle.
It would have to be one big mantle.
I wouldnt hunt them unless I could do it from a Helicopter.
What burns me up is that I lived in Wyoming when the gov’n re-introduced these four legged killers.
I have an old friend that cowboys at one of the ranches off of Moran Junction (next to Grand Teton Park). They lease land going up Pacific creek ajoining the park. I have hunted that area for years and the biggest problem we had were grizzly bears. This area is where they relocate the “problem bears” and it got to the point that it wasn’t fun hunting not including the wolves they now have. One year we saw 11 grizzly’s and 4 elk on a 10 day hunt. He told me that the wolves are decimating the elk heard along with the random killing of cattle. Between the bears and the wolves the outfitters are putting up electric fences around their camps (running off of generators that they are packing in 20 miles.) Actually this has been going on for some time initially because of the bear problems.
I believe our gov’n pay’s six times the worth of livestock that are killed by wolves. They should have never been re-introduced. The hunters and rancher told ‘em so.
Know of any range land open for lease, near griz and wolve country?
Small wolf or big mantle?
HooRay!
The wolves in Idaho are about to learn a huge amount of respect for man and if the hunt goes on for the proposed time period it will greatly reduce the depredation.
Or an itty-bitty wolf.
“Between the bears and the wolves the outfitters are putting up electric fences around their camps (running off of generators that they are packing in 20 miles.)”
Nothing like packing 20 miles into wilderness and falling asleep to the hum of a gas powered generator.
They are, to put it politely, VERMIN!

See, someone got one to fit on the mantle.
Maybe they could just convert it to an ACORN-hunting license...No sense letting all that ammo prepped for the wolf hunt go to waste.
The USFWS gets many jobs for life.
Ranchers lose their homesteads.
Lawyers get their large fees.
Tax payers get killed.
Corporate fed lots get more business as free range beef is reduced.
Ted Turner and pals gets cheap eco-lodging from bankrupt ranchers.
and...
Wolf head, on a plaque over the mantle.
Wouldn’t it be cool to have a chihuahua which looked like that.
