Idaho wolf hunts nearing quotas

PREDATORS – Wolf hunters in some Idaho areas are nearing their quotas.

Department of Fish and Game officials are allowing up to 220 wolves to be killed across the state, but the quotas are divided into 12 hunting zones.

In three of the zones — the Upper Snake zone, the Palouse-Hells Canyon zone and the McCall-Weiser zone — kills are near the limits.

The Palouse-Hells Canyon zone limit is five wolves. Hunters have taken two.

In McCall-Weiser, 12 of the allowed 15 wolves have been shot, including one illegally.
