New Legislation Could Allow Landowners to Kill Wolves “by Any Means Available”

New Legislation Could Allow Landowners to Kill Wolves Last year was a big year for wolf management in western states, as Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming were all cleared for hunts this fall.
Well, Idaho hunters didn't do enough to curb the wolf problem, according to at least one state senator wants to give landowners more freedom to kill the animals that target their livestock and domestic pets.

Jeff Siddoway introduced a bill that would allow landowners to track down wolves and kill them "by any means possible," within 36 hours of a suspected attack on their livestock or domestic animals.

According to a release on the Outdoor Hub, "under the current wording the law would allow for livestock owners to hunt from motorized vehicles powered parachutes, helicopters, fixed wing airplanes and at any time day or night— without a permit."

We'll track this legislation for you. –Brian McClintock
