Sadly, the information is how many wolves have been killed so far:
Wolf Hunt Status-- 550!
Idaho: 379 (124 by trapping)
RE: Wolf Zone in the Southern Mountains * The limit remaining has been reduced by 1 additional wolf
to account for a non-target trapping mortality.

NOTE: "Even without hunting, wolves are shot regularly in the region in response to livestock attacks. At least 103 of the predators had been killed this year [2011] by government wildlife agents and ranchers." ~source
Chris, thanks for keeping us posted as to the latest numbers of Wolves killed in the hunt this season. It's hard to read and imagine.
31 beautiful Wolves killed for no reason. They committed no crime, hunter's and their families can not eat them. Many packs are feeling the loss with winter around the corner, it will make life very hard for those that remain.
