Phantom Hill Story
Continued...
In order to
try and save the Phantom Hill wolves from tangling with the thousands of
sheep that would soon be on the Baker Creek Allotment, North Valley
Allotment and Owl Creek Allotment, wolf advocates took action. Discussions
began with Carter Niemeyer, retired USFWS gray wolf recovery director,
Boise, and Rick Williamson, Wildlife Services Wolf Specialist, Arco, about
ways to keep the Phantoms away from sheep. One of the sheep permittees in
the Phantom Hill Pack’s territory, is Lava Lake Livestock, an outfit that
markets “predator friendly” lamb. Lava Lake runs on the North Valley
Allotment in the heart of the pack’s home range and was already practicing
pro-active measures to keep sheep and wolves apart.
