Montana halts wolf trapping and hunting in certain areas of the state
Fox News
The hunt was halted after the reduced quota was hit earlier this week.
Fox News previously reported that the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission voted to pause wolf trapping and hunting in areas in southern Montana once 82 wolves had been harvested. That threshold has reportedly been hit and the state has ordered wolf hunters to remove equipment from the area.
During the recent hunting season, 20 wolves from Yellowstone were shot by hunters – only about 94 wolves are still living in the park. It is believed that all the wolves of the Phantom Lake Pack have been killed since October, meaning that the pack is now considered eliminated.
