No quota has been set for the wolf during this year’s season. The
Idaho Department of Fish and Game has proposed a wolf hunting season for
Aug. 30 to March 31. Jim Hayden, IDFG regional wildlife manager, said the
commission has also proposed a trapping season for the wolf, Dec. 1
through Jan. 15. “We’ve added a month to the front of the hunting season
and this will be our first trapping season,” Mr. Hayden said. The
public is invited to an open house at the Panhandle Region office at
2885 W. Kathleen Avenue in Coeur d’Alene.
Regional staff will be on hand to answer questions and to solicit input
on the 2011 wolf season proposals. Mr. Hayden said the
changes should bring an 18 percent harvest increase. Overall, the IDFG
expects to see a 20 percent reduction in the state’s wolf population
