Hunting Season is Back

In May, Congress passed a bill that permanently removed gray wolves from the endangered species list in the N. Rocky Mountains. Now the states are taking over gray wolf management.

Idaho's wolf plan: a general hunting season from Aug - Mar with no quotas in most areas, and a special trapping season from Dec - Feb. MT's more reasonable plan: a total state quota of 220 wolves. A tentative agreement has been reached between Wyoming and the USFWS to maintain 100 wolves in the state outside of Yellowstone, but open up the rest of the state to year-round hunting.
