MISSOULA- The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation filed a note it plans to appeal any decision that adversely affects a state's right to manage fully recovered wolf populations.
U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy is expected to decide whether Congress acted within Constitutional bounds when it delisted wolves in parts of the West.
"We are protecting our right to appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals any decision that results in another setback for conservation and science-based wildlife management," said RMEF President and CEO David Allen.
An unfavorable ruling may stop wolf hunts planned for this fall in both Montana and Idaho. As he did with other conservation groups, Molloy recently denied an RMEF motion to intervene in the lawsuit.

There’s no doubt in my mind that this turkey Molloy will side with the enviro-nazis to find Congress did not act within Constitutional bounds on the delisting. I won’t go so far as to say Molloy is a commie but he’s probably the closest thing to it on the federal bench.
Happy to see the RMEF is willing to fight and appeal any adverse decision by Molloy, they have financial backing that will be very useful.
You explained it clearly, which means you did a better job than a journalist who is paid to do so.
Last fall I hunted bear 100 miles north of Dillingham, didn't hear or see any wolves, but the other hunter in camp shot a scrawny female in bad shape off a moose carcass.
I had plenty of tags & was hoping to get a wolf or wolverine, but only got my brownie.
Just before I left, the outfitter's other camp had two wolverines hitting a carcass, but there wasn't enough time left on my hunt to transfer me up there.
The hunt was a hoot anyway.
You are correct Re: the RMEF...
Not historically. They've gone through a bit of a re-org now that their membership is screaming at the board. Too late. Hydatid disease will be a disaster in the entire region for the next 25 years, even if they started exterminating every wolf and coyote tomorrow.
Ed Bangs belongs in jail.
