BOISE -- Idaho's Fish and Game Commission has set dates for a state wolf hunting season, but it's still too soon to buy a tag.
The season will start Sept. 15 and extend through Dec. 31 for the Selway zone and the Middle Fork zone in north central Idaho.
The rest of the state will have a shorter season, from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31.
Hunting wolves depends on the predator being removed from the federal endangered species list this year.
On March 6, President Barack Obama upheld former President George W. Bush's decisionto lift protections on wolves in the Northern Rockies and the western Great Lakes.
Department of Fish and Game spokesman Ed Mitchell said the agency won't decide how many tags to issue until August.
Mitchell says the wolf tag will cost $11.50, the same price as a bear or mountain lion tag.
