Some Wolf Limits Reached

BILLINGS - Less than 48 hours after the season opener more than a third of the state of Montana is barred from hunting wolves. Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks officials have already reached the wolf hunt quota for District 3. That district includes the area between Dillon, Great Galls, the Montana/North Dakota border and Yellowstone National Park. Officials set the wolf quota at 75 statewide and 27 have been shot so far. The two other districts remain open for hunting. "This is the first fair chase wolf hunt we've ever had in Montana. When the regulations were drafted for this it was a bit of a learning experience for Fish, Wildlife, and Parks and we learned a lot," said FWP's Bob Gibson. Gibson says the newly acquired knowledge could translate to possible sub-quotas for specific areas with large wolf populations in the state.
