Montana, Idaho trappers catching more than just wolves
In the first year that wolf trapping was allowed in Idaho, trappers captured a total of 123 wolves.
But according to a survey by the Idaho Fish and Wildlife Department, those same trappers in 2011-2012 also inadvertently captured 147 other animals, including white-tailed deer, elk, moose, mountain lions, skunks and ravens.
Trappers reported that 69 of those animals died as a result.
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks wildlife management chief George Pauley said his office is currently gathering similar information about the states first wolf trapping season.
