I haven't read the article but yes seizures are done frequently. There's no hunting wolves here. It's depreciation tag only. We have strict rules if we trap one. Trapping is only allowed on private land or unless your native. The antis keep winning here unfortunately.
The wolves originally placed in the Gila have expanded their territory mainly north and west.

DNR's for the most part are not in our favor anymore. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Any apex predator that's not properly managed is a agenda. Plain and simple, were gettin screwed.

Our Game and fish is incredibly pro hunter trapper angler. If I remember right it was the feds and anti's that brought them.
Our new game commissioner has done and said some very questionable stuff.

Our houndsmen are now in jeopardy. I should make a thread on that but have not really studied it. I do know 200+ anti's have submitted questions and comments for a new proposed rule

I guess they don’t show up at your conventions either? Most places I know of, we’re on the same team, and after talking to one yesterday they’re a good source for info, and stuff that’s getting approved, local goings on…etc.
