Update: Idaho Opening-Day Hunters Take Two Wolves
From The Idaho Statesman:
Two Idaho hunters shot wolves in opposite sides of the state opening the state's first wolf season.
Robert Millage of Kamiah said he was surrounded by a pack of wolves before dawn and waited until light to call them with a hand call that sounded like a wounded coyote. The 80-pound female wolf came fast to him 25 yards before Millage shot her with his .243 rifle in the Lolo Zone.
"The whole area is lousy with them," Millage said. . . .
Meanwhile, shortly after sunrise archery hunter Jay Mize of Emmett walked out of his tent to see a wolf harassing his horse at Bull Trout Lake near Stanley. He walked back into his tent, put his rifle together and shot the wolf, said Jon Rachael, Idaho Department of Fish and Game wolf manager.
"He said he had bought a wolf tag but never planned to use it," Rachael said. "He was going to have it framed."

I find it funny that the editors used a copy and paste about the wolf hunts, when if they wanted to, I am sure they could have gotten first hand quotes and a story from Idahooutdoors, considering he posted his wolf on the site yesterday, and the story that was pasted in is about him.
Once again, congrats on the wolf.
Well every other news agency and magazine has called me for my story....and the one publication who's website I frequent and add content to doesn't....Lol.....the flood of enviro whack jobs calling and emailing me is also a little annoying, and yet entertaining at the same time...heck of a adrenaline packed solo hunt....
idahooutdoors,
Sounds like you had a great morning. This is one website friend who appreciates your contributions. I know there are many more
A big congrats to you, idahooutdoors! You should make the print version of F&S next month--if not, I'm gonna give a big minus to the editors.
Congrats on the trophy, I just hope the hunt is still on by the time the other side of the state's season opens. Good luck with the freakshows harassing you.
Great job Idaho.
Yeah Idahooutdoors, I told you congrats yesterday and I'll say it again today-- congradulations on what has to be a most satisfying trophy!! Way to stick it to em!! I hope your fellow 3998 Idahoians have the same happy success as you did !!
I hope with the Idaho hunt and the upcoming Montana hunt that the upper great lakes region will also open up hunting because it is greatly needed in our neck of the woods!
Can you eat wolf?
thats a good start for us, and the wolves. just gotta keep the hunts going.
congrats again.
haha
I love it! This is getting me fired up for the Montana season!
fields- Sure, go ahead but I prefer to eat elk and deer meat myself. I'm sure wolf jerky will be making it's rounds shortly. Maybe someone from up north can tell us how it tastes.
Congrats on the wolf it will make an awsome mount.
Wolf are not good eating, but the elk and deer the one you shoot would have ate taste mighty fine....the part about predator hunting these people don't get...
Wolf jerky is what the businesses in Minnesota have been selling the tourists in place of venison jerky for years now!
Congrats on the wolf! I would love to hunt wolves someday; sounds challenging and interesting.
Update they got another wolf on Wed, and the bunny huggers are going off the deep end saying that we are wiping them out.
Kudos, Idahooutdoors. I'm envious and happy for you all at the same time.
Mr Millage, you sir are a true hunter. I have never been on a solo tent hunt but it's right up my alley. Nice job.
Once again, well done, Idahohunter. It's a shame you have to put up with so much negative stuff---seems that it's all right for the environmentalist whackos to harass us hunters, but we'd likely be called criminals if the tables were turned and we made personal attacks on any of them. Stay on the high road.

AGIN congats on filling your tag.dont let them bunnyhuggers get you down.Tell em to go adopt a horse from the blm.LOL.
i have said this on another of your posts, congrats on the hunt, must have been a fine one, but i dont not agree, i just dont understand why you guys are so excited bout killing wolves, yes i know you are saving the elk and deer populations, but dont you think that if you kill to many wolves they may not make it through the winter or survive, and then the elk and deer will thrive yes but they will also over graze and end up starving in the end. i got that from someone else yes, but i thought it a good point to share with you. I love wolves yes and i dont like the hunt, but unlike other aints attacking you, i just wanna understand better, so do not attack me for stating a comment or loving wolves, help me understand instead, and maybe there can be a way for both sides to be happy. we just have to stop agruing and work together, which people make it sound impossible but its not.
oh and for the bunnyhuggers comments, really? i thought you guys called us treehuggers? i guess i just dont get it.
Good for them! I just don't understand why the man in the second story decided to buy tags but did not plan on using them. Glad that he can have a filled out tag framed now.
I just came across this story, however, I remember when Mr. Millage shot the wolf & it was huge news. I am absolutely for controlled hunting of wolves--I believe it will teach them to fear humans on the chance encounter...especially since I hike often with my dog by myself. One thing I am suprised about--the media & several anti-wolf extremists didn't seem to pick up on the fact that Mr. Millage seems to have killed the only wolf in Idaho under 200 lbs!
