New ruling pares down wolf trapping season in Sawtooths, northern Idaho
From Idaho Mountain Express:
A federal court ruling issued Tuesday, March 19, considerably shortened wolf trapping and snaring seasons in four of seven regions of Idaho over concerns that more grizzly bears could be maimed or killed by wolf snares.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Candy Dale’s summary judgment last week came in response to a lawsuit initially filed by Hailey-based Western Watersheds Project and a dozen other conservation and animal welfare groups in December 2021.
