I paid $8,003 to Kill a Wolf

[JoseCuervo]

And so did you....

At the budget hearing this morning on Idaho’s Wolf Depredation Control Board, to which lawmakers have been allocating $400,000 a year in state funds for the past three years to contract to have problem wolves killed, the board reported that its cost per wolf killed has been dropping. “In fiscal year ’16, the cost per wolf removal was $9,005 dollars per wolf,” board member Carl Rey told the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee. “In ’17, it was $8,003 dollars per wolf so far.”

Yes, the money comes from Hunting Licenses, and My taxes...

And at the same time the legislature is saying we don't have enough money to pay for depredations by elk, deer, antelope, etc...

Does that include the "viewing/service" and the velvet lined mahogany casket? If so I'd say steal of a deal

It could be worse, you could tack on $10 to your hunting license for predator "management," in select areas around small villages, in order to help feed the "needy."

You complain about that, but tried to get one elected as president.

When I lived in the suburbs of Pittsburgh affluent communities would pay to have whitetail deer killed by contracted companies mostly conducting night shoots over bait with suppressed rifles. "Animal Lovers" threw a fit. No one wanted "Bubba" bowhunting in their back yard and most of these places had no hunting ordinances.

Increase the supply and price will come down.

And your suggestion is?

 

[shoots-straight]

And your suggestion is?

They need to contract this out. I'll bet that there could be some very good wolfers that work for far less per wolf. Hell I paid $20 for my tag, then spent about $2000 on fuel.

And the problem is/was?

Please don't use the Lobo Watch nonsense.

I really want to hear JC's (not Jesus Christ) ideas.

Shoots Straight has good ideas.
