Fourth, trappers will tell you that trapping is selective and focuses only on the target species. However, this claim is debunked from state records request by the Idaho Fish and Game Department. During the first wolf-trapping season in Idaho, trappers reported catching 147 animals other than the 123 wolves. Of those, 69 were killed. Among the non-target animals caught were 47 deer, 18 elk, four moose, nine mountain lions, nine bobcats, 45 coyotes, and nine domestic pets. Among those killed were one elk, 38 coyotes, six mountain lions, five bobcats, two domestic pets and 12 deer – and this from just one wolf trapping season. “It’s been a challenge,” Jon Rachael, Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s state wildlife game manager, was quoted saying (Missoulian, March 4, 2013). “Trappers are talking with each other about ways to mitigate that. No one wants to catch a deer. It costs them a lot of time. They don’t want to kill deer, moose or elk.”
