F&G approves hunt on Sawtooth wolves
Stanley area wolves could be hunted from September to March
By :JASON KAUFFMAN
Gray wolves occupying the Sawtooth Valley will be hunted for a full seven months under rules approved today by the Idaho Fish and Game Commission in Boise.
The Sawtooth hunt, scheduled to run from Sept. 1 through March 31, is part of a statewide set of rules the Fish and Game commission approved for the wolf season anticipated to begin this fall, a news release from the Idaho Department of Fish and Game states. For the statewide wolf hunt to happen, wolves in Idaho will need to be removed from the federal Endangered Species List, which is expected to officially take place later this spring.
The Sawtooth wolf zone covers Idaho big game units 33, 34, 35, 36 and 39, a large area stretching from Boise to Stanley. The area takes in the Boise, Sawtooth and White Cloud mountain ranges and runs all the way to the north side of Galena Summit. Wolves in the Lolo wolf zone in north-central Idaho will also be hunted from Sept. 1 through March 31.
Elsewhere in the state, wolf hunting seasons will run from Sept. 15 to Dec. 31 in the Selway and Middle Fork wolf zones in the remote central part of Idaho.
Across the remainder of the state, including the Wood River Valley, wolf hunting will run from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31 under the rules approved today. Commissioners will set statewide wolf harvest levels in August.
