CASPER — On Wednesday, members of the Wyoming Legislature’s Treatment of Predators Working Group will take public comment on two draft bills intended to address the state’s lack of enforcement capability in cases of abuse of predatory animals.
They’ll likely get an earful — although the public comment will only last 30 minutes, and each speaker is limited to three minutes.

The wolf population in Montana remains healthy, according to the 2023 Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Wolf Report. Increased harvest during the 2023 wolf season has not yet resulted in an estimated decline to the statewide total. However, FWP biologists expect to see a moderate decline in wolf numbers next year resulting from the increased harvest in early 2024.

From the Colorado Sun:
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is learning in the first year of reintroduction that there’s little winning with wolves.
The agency’s latest plan to trap and move a Grand County pack that has been killing livestock riled wildlife groups, who roundly blasted the relocation plan as “being driven by politics … not rooted in science-based management” and a potential “death sentence” for the Copper Creek pack’s three pups. (The pack was named in June after CPW saw that two adults captured in Oregon and released in Colorado last year had produced offspring, the first of the reintroduced wolves. It is unclear if CPW plans to trap and relocate the pups.)
Scientists who trapped problem wolves in Montana and relocated them to a different part of the state agree that the process rarely ends well for young wolves that rely on their parents and do not know how to hunt.
The International Wolf Center uses science-based education to teach and inspire the world about wolves, their ecology, and the wolf-human relationship.
