Details For Wolf Hunt

The Montana wildlife commission voted Wednesday to allow the hunting of 75 wolves in the state or about 15 percent of the Montana population. The hunt is scheduled to begin in mid September. However, legal challenges are almost certain to try to block the hunts. Montana's top wolf biologist Carolyn Sime said, "We're signaling our commitment to being responsible wildlife managers."

Hopefully we'll see this hunt happen sometime this year. As most hunters have seen, unchecked populations of wolves will bring down populations of deer, elk and other game animals. If only the animal right's groups would look at the overall impact the wolves are having on the Eco-system, I think they would agree that we need to manage all game species.
