Revise fish and wildlife commission techniques for gray wolf management
What changed between versions
Changed the wolf population target from 'not less than 15 breeding pairs' to 'at least 15 breeding pairs' to clarify the minimum threshold.
Replaced 'may' with 'shall' to require the commission to apply different management techniques in regions with the highest wolf numbers.
Allowed the use of bait during trapping seasons, provided no trap is set within 30 feet of visible bait.
Authorized hunting wolves on private land at night using artificial light or night-vision scopes.
Added authority to issue more than one Class E-1 or E-2 hunting license to a single applicant.
Added authority to allow trapping or snaring of more than one wolf per license holder.
Added authority to harvest an unlimited number of wolves per hunting or trapping license.
Created a new exemption allowing landowners or agents to kill wolves threatening safety, livestock, or dogs without a hunting license, subject to an annual quota.
Changed the effective date from 'immediate' to 'on passage and approval'.
