Montana's Gianforte warned by wildlife officials after violation in killing Yellowstone wolf

Montana’s Gov. Greg Gianforte was warned after violating the state’s hunting regulations when he killed a radio-collared wolf near Yellowstone National Park without having taken the required trapping course.

A spokesperson for the Republican governor said Gianforte "immediately rectified" the mistake by enrolling in the course this week. He was allowed to keep the animal’s skull and hide. It’s legal to kill wolves in the state with a valid license, which Gianforte had, Montana’s Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokesman Greg Lemon said.
