Conservation organizations Monday sent a notice of intent to sue Idaho for violations of the Endangered Species Act over state hunting authorizations that put grizzly bears at risk, a press release said.
In June, a grizzly was killed by a hunter at a black bear bait station near St. Maries after being misidentified by Idaho Department of Game and Fish.
The incident demonstrates "the urgent need to reform the practice now that grizzly bears are beginning to return to Idaho on their journey to recovery," a press release said.
