[Vision2020] light pollution, predators

[Pat Kraut]

I have friends who live at the base of Moscow Mt and have seen them in their yards. Also, one between here and Troy has seen them.

  Have wolves been sighted in Latah County? Aren't they in the Lolo area?

  I'm guessing a black bear would approach a farm or a house as a forager, looking for fruits and berries or garbage, rather that as a predator, looking to kill livestock or pets, right?

  Is all of this wildlife deterred by leaving on a light at night? How about by dogs?
