Learn more about wolves
November 2, 2005
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has a new section on their website designed to help hunters and others in the outdoors learn more about the state’s wolf population.
The new online information offers details on the state-led wolf program, information on wolf livestock interactions; a report on wolf-ungulate studies in Montana; information on what to do if you encounter a wolf, and more. To get there, visit the FWP web site at fwp.mt.gov and use the search words "Wolf Management News." To report a wolf sighting click on Report Wolves under Hot Topics.
Wolves in northern Montana are currently managed as "endangered" and wolves in southern Montana are managed as "experimental, non-essential." FWP's wolf program works to conserve and actively manage a recovered wolf population. Hunting will be prohibited until the wolf is no longer protected under the Endangered Species Act.
