LC 1743 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Creating open wolf hunting season until the population is at or below a certain number

This bill amends Montana's wildlife code to establish a year-round open wolf hunting season with an unlimited quota that remains in effect until the state wolf population reaches 600 or fewer animals. It directly affects hunters, wildlife officials, and landowners by authorizing the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Commission to manage wolf hunting seasons and set population targets. The legislation also clarifies that the commission cannot close wolf hunting seasons in areas adjacent to national parks unless a harvest quota has been met, while maintaining existing provisions for special hunting seasons and trapping.
