From SpaceDaily.com:
Between one estimate and the next, roughly 369 wolves disappeared from Montana. Not from the landscape, from the spreadsheet. What changed was the math.
From Yahoo.com:
Wyoming hunters hoping to target the matriarch of a famous Yellowstone wolf pack, when hunting begins Tuesday, might be out of luck.

Gray wolves roaming parts of Oregon and Washington could lose federal protections as part of President Donald Trump’s attempt to pacify ranchers facing multiple economic challenges.
Last week, Trump called on wildlife agencies to review the wolves’ U.S. Endangered Species Act status and consider delisting them. While that could create more opportunities for some Oregon and Washington ranchers to kill the animals, gray wolves would still be protected by state policies.

From SummitDaily.com:
President Donald Trump ordered the federal government to look at delisting gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves over the next 90 days.
In Colorado, where voters mandated the reintroduction of gray wolves in 2020, the change in federal protections would have little impact on how the state manages the species.

Minnesota ranchers angered by Trump’s decision to import cheaper beef would be able to process their own meat and go after a predator that has long had federal protection, the gray wolf, under an executive order.
