Maybe once the newness wears off, it might become more liberal.

The department is proposing a wolf hunting season for the Trophy Game Area of northwest Wyoming in fall of 2008. The structure of the season will be an Area Harvest Quota Limitation, in which the season for each wolf hunt area will close when the harvest quota for that area has been reached. The proposal will establish wolf seasons and harvest quotas in four hunt areas in the Trophy Game Area of northwest Wyoming. These are:

Hunt Area Harvest Quota

Sunlight 5
Francs Peak 10
Gros Ventre 5
Green River 5




"This proposed season structure and harvest quota represents an extremely conservative approach to wolf hunting in Wyoming," said Game and Fish Wildlife Assistant Chief Bill Rudd. "Wolves are reproducing at an average annual rate of 24 percent in Wyoming, and can sustain much higher harvest than we are proposing through hunting. Removing some wolves through controlled hunting can also help prevent wolf-livestock conflicts in some cases."

All hunters who take a wolf in the Trophy Game Area will be required to report that take within 24 hours. They will also be required to present the skull and pelt to a district Game Warden, district wildlife biologist or department personnel at a Game and Fish regional office during normal business hours within five days.

It's a start hunting them. Better than not hunting them, barely.

Not only no! But hell no! LOL!

Wyoming needs to adopt the Alaskan Method of taking out the wolves...by aircraft! I live near Grand Teton Nat. Park and have seen quite a few wolves this past winter, even saw a few in the refuge trying to get at my bighorns!
