Idaho warns hunters of pending wolf hearing

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is putting the warning out: Tuesday's wolf hunt doesn't have a green light just yet.

BOISE, Idaho —

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is putting the warning out: Tuesday's wolf hunt doesn't have a green light just yet.

U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy in Missoula still has to weigh in on environmental groups efforts to stop the hunt, as part of their push to have federal Endangered Species Act protections restored to the big predators that now number 1,650 across Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.

Molloy will oversee a hearing Monday, where he could make a decision on Idaho and Montana's planned hunts.

Idaho's is due to start Tuesday in northcentral and central Idaho, with Montana's kicking off Sept. 15.

Amid the uncertainty, Idaho game officials are asking hunters to check the Idaho Fish and Game Web site at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov or call the toll free wolf hunt information number 1-877-872-3190, to get an update on the court proceedings - and see if the wolf hunts can go ahead.
