BOISE — Legislation to
keep operating a state board
that pays a federal agency to
kill wolves that attack live-
stock and elk is on its way to
Idaho Gov. Brad Little after a
House vote Monday.
The House voted 51-19 to
repeal a section of Idaho law

run of the Idaho Wolf Depre-
dation Control Board in the
summer of 2020.
The legislation requested
by the board already passed
the Senate.
Backers said Idaho has too
many wolves that are harm-
ing ranching and farming
families by killing livestock.
Those who opposed the bill
suggested it should include
non-lethal methods of wolf
control. At least one lawmak-
er opposed the legislation
because it made the control
board permanent.
The board has in the past
received $400,000 annu-
ally from the state. Little
has asked the Legislature to
approve $200,000 for the

member Carl Rey has previ-
ously said it will need between
$500,000 and $600,000 an-
nually from taxpayers to keep
going in the future.
The control board also re-
ceives money from the live-
stock industry that’s matched
by the state Department of
Fish and Game through fees
paid by hunters up to a maxi-
mum of $110,000. The board
pays the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Wildlife Ser-
vices to kill wolves that attack
livestock and elk.
Republican Rep. Laurie
Lickley sponsored the legisla-
tion.
The “repeal would be in ef-
fect until we can get a handle
on wolf numbers in Idaho,”
Lickley said. “This is an in-
vestment in our rural com-
munities.”
Republican Rep. Christy
Zito said she is concerned

eas where people live. “They
will start to see humans as
part of the food chain,” she
said.
Republican Rep. Heather
Scott opposed the legisla-
tion because it permanently
created another state agency
that she said paid $9,000
per wolf killed. Instead, she
wanted more liberal hunting
and trapping allowed.
“I don’t think this is a wise
use of our money,” she said.

Davis said she understood
the need to control wolves
but said the legislation
should include a non-lethal
component. “If we could just
add the words non-lethal
I wouldn’t have a problem
with it,” she said.
The Agriculture Depart-
ment has said that in the

which runs from the begin-
ning of October to the end of
September, Wildlife Services
killed 83 wolves in Idaho. Of
those, 73 involved livestock
attacks and 10 were an ef-
fort to boost elk numbers in
northern Idaho.
Besides wolf control ac-
tions, hunters and trappers
also kill wolves. Fish and
Game has said that in calen-
dar year 2018, hunters killed
179 wolves and trappers har-
vested another 133.
Fish and Game last year es-
timated Idaho had 90 packs.
The agency doesn’t count in-
dividual wolves or provide an
overall wolf count number.
But it notes that a typical Ida-
ho wolf pack has six to nine
wolves — meaning about 540
to 810 wolves in the state at
that time.
Federal authorities lifted
federal protections for wolves
in Idaho in 2011, but if the
wolf population falls below
certain levels, the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service could
take back management from

tion is well above levels that
would trigger federal over-
sight.

cougar sightings are becom-
ing more common in the
Northwest as populations of
people and the big cats con-
tinue to grow.
The Bend Bulletin reports
a 135-pound cougar was
killed in southwest Bend,
Oregon, last week after
authorities determined it
posed a danger to human
safety.
Oregon wildlife biologist
Corey Heath said the state
is home to about 6,500 cou-
gars.
Heath said cougars usu-
ally avoid people, but the
possibility of an easier meal
can lure the cats into urban
areas, where deer tend to be
calmer and less wary of po-
tential predators.
David Stoner, a research
professor at Utah State Uni-
versity, said the increase in
sightings can be attributed
to the growing number of
people living and recreating
in forested mountain areas
home to the big cats.
