Idaho Fish and Game investigating suspicious wolf kill
POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) — Idaho Fish and Game officials say they hope to use DNA evidence to determine whether a wolf kill actually took place in the hunting zone in which it was reported.

Fish and Game Conservation Officer Lauren Wendt says there is no evidence anything illegal occurred, but that the reported kill is suspicious because there have never been any wolf sightings near where the hunter reported the kill.

The kill was reported Dec. 28 in the Southern Idaho Zone, in a hunting unit that stretches from Rexburg down past Ririe, Ucon, Rigby and Roberts.

The Idaho State Journal reports that the hunting zone where the hunter lives had already reached its wolf kill quota and was closed at the time of the reported kill.
