Committee tables wolf bill proposed by local legislator [Montana]
From BozemanDailyChronicle.com:
A bill sponsored by House District 58 Rep. Jamie Isaly (D-Park County) that proposes to place gray wolves in the furbearer hunting category has been tabled in committee. The bill failed to advance Jan. 23 by a 12-8 vote of the House Fish, Wildlife and Parks Committee, which includes Isaly.
Shortly before the vote, Isaly said the bill had been requested by the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
The bill would revise state law to define gray wolves as furbearers; prevent the hunting of furbearers within cities or towns, from public highways, from vehicles, or with the assistance of motion-tracking cameras; forbid the waste of a gray wolf head or pelt in the field; create furbearer tagging offenses for gray wolves; classify wolf licenses as furbearer licenses; and exclude a wolf license from a class C nonresident trapping license.
