Posted Sun May 9 2010: from AP, via PhysOrg.com:
Montana, Idaho consider tripling wolf hunt quotas http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1273410814
Hunters in Montana would be allowed to kill nearly three times as many gray wolves this fall compared with last year's inaugural hunt, under a proposal announced Friday by state wildlife officials. Wolves in neighboring Idaho also face a potentially higher quota. And hunters there could be allowed to use traps, electronic calls and, in some regions, bait to increase their odds of a successful kill. Final details are pending.... "We've learned a lot over the past year," [Montana Chief of Wildlife] McDonald said. "It's our responsibility to address the fact that more than 200 sheep and about 100 head of cattle were killed by wolves last year and that wolves have depressed deer and elk populations in some areas."

Killing 200 wolves to save 200 sheep and 100 cows seems a fair compromise.
