Hunting and Trapping to Resume Outside Yellowstone
Posted on by
On December 10th, Yellowstone wolves got a temporary reprieve. Montana wildlife commissioners closed down the gray wolf hunting season in some areas outside Yellowstone National Park after several collared wolves were shot when beyond the safety of the park’s reach. This move came just days after Yellowstone Wolf 06 fell victim outside the park in neighboring Wyoming. The closures prohibited hunting and trapping and included areas north of the park around the town of Gardiner.
This decision was celebrated by wildlife advocates but criticized by Citizens for Balanced Use, Big Game Forever, Montana Outfitters and Guides Association, and Montana Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife and soon thereafter these . On January 2nd, Judge Nels Swandal issued an injunction overruling the commission s decision, thus allowing hunting & trapping to resume.
On Jan, 14th at 3PM, a hearing will be held in Livingtson, MT to determine whether the injunction will remain in effect. Some friends from the (NWC) will be there show their support for Montana FWP’s decision to close these zones to wolf hunting and trapping and they’re encouraging all interested ‘wolfwatchers’ in the area to attend too.
