Hunting and trapping will end after 82 wolves killed but commissioners won’t reinstate quotas ended by Republicans

But commissioners rejected calls to revive quotas that would limit the number of wolves killed along Yellowstone’s northern border to just a few annually. Those longstanding quotas were lifted last year after Republicans passed laws intended to drive down the wolf population by making it easier to kill the animals.

That’s the most in a season since the predators were restored to the US northern Rocky Mountains more than 25 years ago.Urged by ranchers and hunters, Republicans in Montana and Idaho last year loosened hunting and trapping laws to allow night hunting, higher harvest limits, the use of snares and even aerial hunting in Idaho.

Sholly told wildlife commissioners in a letter park wolves spend only 5 % of their time outside the park. In the last three years, Sholly wrote, there has been only one attack on livestock by wolves in Park county, Montana, just north of the Yellowstone. Such attacks are frequently cited by ranchers who want to reduce wolf numbers.

One pack – the Phantom Lake Pack – is now considered “eliminated” after most or all of its members were killed over a two-month span beginning in October, according to the park.
