An Idaho Department of Fish and Game official said Thursday the state
will use aerial gunning and professional and government trappers to kill
wolves in the Lolo Zone, even as public hunting and trapping seasons
continue. Dave Cadwallader, supervisor of the department's Clearwater
Region, said he wants a multipronged approach to wolf control in the
difficult-to-access area where elk herds are hurting. … Idaho's wolf
hunting season opened in late August, but only six wolves have been
harvested in the Lolo Zone … That is far fewer than the 50 to 60
wildlife managers want to remove from the area, where elk numbers have
fallen from a high of about 16,000 in the late 1980s to about 2,000
