Why don’t they sell licenses and allow hunter to kill them. Lots of people I think would pay for a license. Versus using tax payer money to kill them.
Idaho has been selling wolf tags for quite a few years. Wolves are not only a lot smarter than people think they are, they're very difficult to hunt.
Although I am no longer able to hunt due to physical problems and old age, I always carried a wolf tag when i could hunt elk and deer. Never saw but one and that was only for a few seconds across an old burn before it disappeared into the distant tree line.
The couple of guys I know who've killed wolves did so just by accident when they were hunting elk.
Woof hunting ain't easy.
