Honestly, while I don't agree with breaking the law, most hunters here in Idaho aren't going to miss those bears all that much. We're all getting pretty tired out here of being the outlet for the guilt of people who live back east concerning the low population of some predators. If you guys back east miss them all that much, put them in your back yards. The elk herds in the Selway and Lolo wilderness areas have been devastated by grizzleys and wolves and honestly I can't eat a wolf or a grizzly and I don't really care to look at one so why the hell would I want more of them. It took half a century to bring the elk herds of Idaho back from near extinction and now the federal government is destroying that with the introduction of non native wolves.

Uh... This was a judge who lives in Pocatello. I don't think you can blame this on people who live "back east."
