New West: Wolf Hunt Turned Out Well

The fears on both sides of the coin proved overblown. The FWP set a quota of 75 wolves. Some skeptics (myself included) said hunters would have minimal success at harvesting so many of these far-ranging predators in the diverse landscape of western Montana. Others predicted hunter efficiency that would push wolves back toward extinction. Hunters hit their target nearly perfectly with 72 wolves harvested. FWP shut the season down a little early, maintaining a conservative position. This measured, step-by-step approach will be key if this is (as I hope) to be the first of many hunting seasons for wolves under the Big Sky/ Chris Marchion , New West. More here .
