Montana’s wolf population still strong, state agency says
From The Western News:
Wolf numbers in Montana “remained healthy in 2016 and more than three times the federally mandated minimums,” according to a Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks news release.
The agency counted 477 wolves for 2016, down from 536 wolves in 2015.
“(This) doesn’t necessarily reflect a reduction in wolf numbers, but rather a reduction in counting effort,” the news release states.
