looks like no decision yet but it tells there arguments. Read were the conservationists lawyer is from... imagine that and easterner. also read how many wolfs they think is a "safe population".
my favorite line is this
Idaho Assistant Attorney General Steven Strack added that his state is growing frustrated with a constantly growing threshold of acceptable wolves.
"We started this process back in 1994 with a goal of 100 wolves," Strack said. "We've had to watch as the population increased and we had measurable impacts on elk herds. Now we have more than 800 wolves - eight times the recovery goal of 1994. We've demonstrated we're not hostile to wolves, but the targets keep moving on us."
if the hunt gets stopped again this year maybe we should start hunting wolf conservationists. lol open season in sun valley and jackson hole.
doesnt sound like he is going to make a decision today so maybe a few will get shot tomorrow
