Are Higher Wolf Harvest Quotas Coming To Montana?
From XLCountry.com:
Montana wildlife officials are eyeing some big changes when it comes to managing wolves for the 2025-26 season. The goal? Reduce wolf numbers to what they call a “sustainable level.”
Right now, there are an estimated 1,091 wolves roaming the state, with about half of them living in Region 1 (Flathead, Lake, Lincoln, and Sanders counties). Which is only 12 fewer then the previous year and still considered well over recovery thresholds. For some lawmakers, that’s still considered a red flag.
