That's for sure here, too. Increasingly.

I just checked the IDF&G wolf update again today. More stock and pet losses, more money wasted. Incredible blunder and really going to be stupid in a new era of tightening budgets.

Idaho spent $715,000 of Federal funds for wolf management last year. PLUS USDA spent $400,000 on control in Idaho. PLUS the Nez Perce tribe spent $350,000 of Fed funds for wolf population studies in Idaho. Dollars better spent on control of noxious weeds to better habitat rather than promoting noxious predators.
