ID S1247

Establishes "chronic depredation zones" where wolves may be taken year-round in any big game hunting unit where the fish and game commission or USDA APHIS wildlife services confirmed depredation in 4 out of the preceding 5 calendar years, requiring valid hunting license, wolf tag, and reporting within 7 days

Designates big game hunting units 38, 40, 41, 42, 46, 47, 53, 54, 55, 56, and 57 as permanent "wolf-free zones" where wolves may be taken year-round year-round with same licensing and reporting requirements

Limits applicability of these provisions to periods when Idaho maintains more than 20 wolf packs consisting of at least 200 wolves in the state

Authorizes the fish and game commission to review and adjust wolf management policies if pack numbers fall to 20 or fewer packs with 200 or fewer wolves, with the goal of restoring populations to a minimum of 20 packs with at least 200 wolves

Declares an emergency, making the act effective upon passage and approval
