Wolf Tags

Idaho Gov. Candidate Jokes About Hunting Obama

Rammell was speaking to a local Republican group about the state's wolf hunt, for which hunters must pay for "wolf tags." An audience member shouted out a question about "Obama tags."

"Obama tags? We'd buy some of those," Rammell responded.

Bring it on.

"Let it be".

Rex Rammell Puts His Economic Principles To Work

This is just Rammell's most recent bout with trouble. Earlier this year, his development company filed for bankruptcy protection.

In June, the Idaho Supreme Court ruled Rammell must pay $29,000 in fines related to fence problems at an elk-hunting ranch he used to own. In 2006, 110 of his elk escaped, leading to an emergency hunt over fears that the elk could spread disease to wild herds. He sold the ranch after that.

Rammell ran for the Senate last year as an independent. The state Republican party argued to the Idaho Supreme Court that his run was illegal and that his name shouldn't be allowed on the ballot, but the court allowed Rammell to run. He got 5.4 percent of the vote.
