#Idaho is doubling down on its goal of slaughtering most of the state's #wolves.

Earlier this week, several #hunting organizations, including the Sportsmen's Alliance, Michigan Bear Hunters Association, Upper Peninsula Bear Houndsmen Association, and Wisconsin Bear Hunters Association, submitted two petitions to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (#FWS).

The use of #PredatorControl as a management practice to enhance game harvest is controversial.
A new paper by Sterling Miller, David Person and Terry Bowyer analyzed harvest data on #GrayWolves, #BlackBears, #BrownBears and #Moose to determine predator harvest was positively correlated with moose harvest in the long term. No such effect was found:
