A year ago, Rex Rammell raised a ruckus when the state shot elk that had escaped from his Eastern Idaho hunting ranch.
Now, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate says the government should eradicate Idaho's wolf population.
In a guest essay, Rammell aligns himself with the likes of Stanley's Ron Gillett and other anti-wolf advocates. Rammell wants the feds to remove Idaho's wolves, and if the feds don't do it, then the state should.
"It is time Idaho made a stand to save our crown jewels: the majestic big game herds we have spent decades building," Rammell says.

A year ago Rammell was the poster boy for privatizing elk, turning Idaho's wildlife heritage into mere livestock for fat, lazy out-of-state "hunters" to shoot up against a fence at his private elk corral.
Now he cares deeply about saving Idaho's thriving elk population from wolves. Yes, another political hypocrite, or maybe a wolf himself, in the way wolves are portrayed in fiction.
