BOISE, Idaho Hunters appear to be having less success hunting and trapping wolves in the Idaho backcountry than a season ago.
Idaho Fish and Game officials announced Monday that hunters had bagged 245 wolves this season. At the end last season, hunters killed 379 wolves.
There is still time for hunters to make gains on last year's mark.
Hunting and trapping in most zones across the state remain open through the end of March. Seasons in the Lolo and Selway zones in the north-central part of the state remain open through June 30.

I was in the Lolo wilderness camping with my husband and the wolves howling at night are like nothing you have ever heard. It's truly magical. I can see why we have so many stories and myths surrounding wolves in our literature.
I just really need to spit on every one of you Idaho and Montana morons who are doing this.

We're both agreed with your thoughts on the blood lust for these creatures in this state.
