To protect grizzlies, judge won’t reconsider Idaho wolf trapping decision
From CapitalPress.com:
A federal judge denied Idaho’s request that she reconsider her earlier ban on recreational wolf trapping and snaring when Endangered Species Act-protected grizzly bears are not in their dens. Federal Magistrate Judge Candy W. Dale in March 2024 ruled that trapping and snaring wolves during the grizzlies’ non-denning period from March 1 to Nov. 30 threatens the bears.
She ordered Idaho Fish and Game curtail its wolf snaring and trapping season in the state’s northern panhandle and Clearwater, Salmon and Upper Snake River regions.
