Salmon 40 36

Sawtooth 60 51
Southern Mountains 25 8
Beaverhead 10 ?
Island Park 30 6

Idaho has five wolf zones with stated desired kill numbers. those numbers are in the first column. The number of “known” wolves in those zones are in the second column. Notice anything unusual?
And yes I realize that there are probably more wolves out there than the known #, but know one knowes if that is one more or 100 more. But the point is, what other “big Game anaimal” has the kill number set higher than the “known” number?

Gotta love that word ‘harvest’. Makes me want to go pick my lettuce after killing a wolf.
