PREDATORS — Idaho is asking the public to help in the task of monitoring the whereabouts of wolves.
“Scouting for upcoming hunting seasons, huckleberry picking, and general late summer recreating are all good reasons for getting away to Idaho’s great outdoors,” says the media release. “If during these forays, you see a wolf, Fish and Game staff would like to hear about it.”
“We’re looking for basic wolf information from folks returning from the field,” Fish and Game wildlife manager Craig White said. “Where the wolf or wolves were seen, their behavior, size, coat color and any other details.”
The easiest way to report sightings is to use the Idaho wolf reporting form on the Fish and Game website. It’s easy to use.
- Washington’s wolf reporting form was created for the same purpose of enlisting thousands of eyes in the field to help wildlife managers monitor an elusive species.
