Wolf hunt angers Canadian conservationists

VICTORIA, British Columbia, July 27 (UPI) -- A Texas couple's account of their wolf hunt in British Columbia has angered Canadian conservationists.

Lynne and Eddie Hopkins said they bagged five wolves and two coyotes in February during a hunt with Wicked River Outfitters, Postmedia News reported Tuesday. The couple, members of the Dallas Safari Club, won the hunting trip, which costs $4,000 U.S., in a club auction.

The couple described the hunt in Camp Talk, the club's magazine. Eddie Hopkins said the guide used a snowmobile on a frozen lake to cut off a black wolf, the color he wanted to bag.
