Montana judge restricts wolf hunting near Yellowstone Park
Fox News
A Montana judge has temporarily limited the number of wolves hunters can kill near Yellowstone Park. Each hunter can now only kill five instead of 20.
Conservation groups last month sued over 2021 laws passed by the Legislature that were intended to curb gray wolf numbers by making it easier to kill them. The laws allowed the use of snares, which some consider inhumane, and led to rules that allow individuals to kill up to 20 wolves each — 10 from hunting and 10 from trapping.
Attorneys for WildEarth Guardians and Project Coyote argued that rules in place for this winter would hurt wolf populations and interfere with management of the animals on federal lands such as Yellowstone, where hunting is not allowed.
