[Montana] State judge allows 2025-2026 wolf hunting and trapping regulations to stand
From MontanaFreePress.org:
A Helena judge has allowed the wolf hunting and trapping regulations the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted earlier this year to stand, despite flagging “serious concerns” about the state’s ability to accurately estimate Montana’s wolf population.
In a 43-page opinion, district court Judge Christopher Abbott wrote that leaving the 2025-2025 hunting and trapping regulations in place while he considers an underlying lawsuit will not “push wolf populations to an unsustainable level.”
