Carter Niemeyer is the retired (2006) U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wolf recovery coordinator for Idaho and, as an expert government trapper, was a key member of the federal wolf reintroduction team in Canada in the mid-1990s. He is an Iowa native, but adopted the West as his home in the early 1970s. He has two degrees from Iowa State University and is a Wildlife Society certified biologist.

    Niemeyer has been a trapper, hunter, and wildlife proponent his entire life. Wolves, he believes, add to the outdoor experience. They do not, as many believe, kill everything in sight, destroy their own food supply, or lick their chops at kids waiting at bus stops. Wolves are simply predators like lions and bears, and anyone who believes otherwise is, well, wrong.
