Fish and Game seeks information about killing of juvenile wolves

Idaho Fish and Game is asking for the public’s help in determining who is responsible for removing and killing young wolves from a den in northern Idaho.

The incident occurred in Kootenai County, about 15 miles from Coeur d’Alene, in the Sage Creek drainage. The incident likely occurred sometime during the week of May 16th.
