Looks like the number is now 30.[1]
As I discovered, they also allow the thousands of out of state hunters that come in with OTC elk/deer tags to harvest a wolf (or black bear or mountain lion) instead.
Predation of big game is a planned for event and IDFG in Idaho and equivalent agencies in other states work to find a balance because at the end of the day - conservation is the goal.
This isn't necessarily how hunters and trappers have been historically portrayed in the media but I think we're at a turning point. For any readers that are interested in learning more about how hunting and trapping as a crucial component of conservation. Do read up on the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation.[2[
PS: Idaho is beautiful!
