From 1915 till 1930 the Federal Government waged what was called a "war" against depredating wolves. To give you some idea of the effort, in just one year, 1923, 3,567,000 poison baits were placed over 284,000 square miles of the American West. Every year it was the same; MASSIVE EFFORT.

Even so, wolves were not considered "controlled" until 1930, and were never exterminated at all.

There is no region on earth with similar terrain to Idaho's where wolves have been dramatically reduced in number by mere hunting and trapping and snaring.

Truly vast toxicant application would be necessary to gain the recovery of our herds. That is politically impossible.
