    Thanks Ms. Carlton, for your letter. I hope other
    citizens of Idaho will ask the same questions.
    And often.

    I look forward to the response you (will probably
    not) get.

    Ms Carlton….If Idaho is like Montana your response will be an approximate cost incurred by Game and Fish and they will refer you to Wildlife Services for the cost of the aerial gunning. You’ll be lucky to get that info without a F.O.I. fight.
    The identity of the ranchers is also protected.
    Been there, done that.
