Idaho mulls special wolf tag proposal
File photo. By Associated PressBOISE, Idaho (AP) — State fish and game officials have approved a plan to issue special wolf hunting tags that would be auctioned to raise money for conservation projects and wolf management. The Idaho Fish and Game Commission voted on the measure Wednesday. The plan is similar in some ways to special tags the state makes available for bighorn sheep, which are auctioned publicly through a nonprofit organization to raise money for bighorn sheep habitat. Agency spokesman Niels Nokkentved says the tags considered for public auction are special because they were among the first printed, with tag numbers starting at 001. The tags made available to hunters last month started with the number 101. Idaho's public wolf hunt began earlier this month, and expanded Tuesday to include two more hunting zones.
