Something tells me there's more to the story...
There's lots of privately owned and FS managed airstrips in the Frank Church. Maybe those are the only exemptions to the "no engine rule"...and landing a bird in a random area is not allowed, but it still does not make sense.
How can they not be allowed to collar wolves? The IDFG has complete control over their management.
Fishy.
They are allowed to collar wolves and they do it all the time. When I was getting my wolf trapping license, the mandatory wolfer class was taught by one of their trappers who does all the wolf collaring for Idaho F&G.
