Wolf issue still unresolved
Nov. 28 deadline to submit comments


   Wolf issue still unresolved
   According to an Idaho Department of Fish and Game news brief, a notice in the Federal Register was published on Oct. 28 that states the USFWS is asking the public to provide comments and any additional information on the Feb. 2007 proposal to delist wolves.
   "The Service is seeking additional information on a variety of topics related to the delisting," the IDFG brief said.
   The public will have until Nov. 28, 2008, to submit their comments to the Federal
   eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov or via U.S. mail or hand delivery to: Public Comments Processing, attn: RIN 1018-Au53; Division of Policy and Directives Management; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; 4401 N. Fairfax drive, suite 222; Arlington, VA 22203.
   On Wed. Nov 6, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission directed Fish and Game staff to pursue hunting seasons in the fall of 2009 and ways to control wolves in areas where wild deer and elk herd numbers are depressed.
   Wolves in Idaho remain on the federal endangered species list, and wolf hunting seasons remain on hold.
