A friend of mine who hunts wolves advised you can get a permit for a thermal scope for hunting . Im checking with IDFG next week to verify. If so can open up hunting option s for wolves.

Wolves will be gone fast
Your idea didn’t work in the slightest.

There has been a $500 bill reimbursement for wolves in Idaho for years. You keep the fur. Hunting is also allowed 24/7/365 nowadays, and has been like that on private property for years.

When they upped the reimbursement to $2500 a few months ago in some units, more people got off the couch, but it really didn’t put a dent in the population.

There is a reason poison was needed last time.
Close but not quite. State law prevails and that strictly prohibits night hunting. The IDFG can't overrule that one. That's reason the IDFG got so much negative press a couple years ago when they used sharp shooters to kill about 200 elk on private land to thin out the elk. They weren't able to open it for hunting because the elk were only moving in at night and state law prohibits night time hunting. Only the legislature can change that rule.
