IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - The Idaho Fish and Game Commission vowed to pursue all legal options to restore the state's authority over wolf management after a federal judge's Aug. 5 ruling restored endangered species protections.
The commission passed a resolution Monday that also finds fault with U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy's decision, which restored protections to wolves in Idaho and Montana.
The panel wants Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter to secure a pact with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that established Idaho as the lead manager of wolves. Toby Boudreau, regional wildlife manager, says a similar agreement was in place before federal protections were lifted last year and wolf management was turned over to Montana and Idaho.
