LC 3034 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise fish and wildlife commission techniques for gray wolf management

This bill amends Montana's gray wolf management laws to give the Fish and Wildlife Commission more flexibility in setting hunting and trapping regulations. It allows the commission to apply different techniques across regions, including permitting multiple wolf licenses per person, unlimited harvests per license, and the use of night vision or thermal scopes for hunting. The legislation also enables landowners to take wolves on their property without a license if the animals threaten livestock, dogs, or human safety, provided they report the taking and stay within annual quotas. Additionally, public land permittees with livestock depredation issues can obtain special permits to remove wolves without purchasing standard licenses.
