Hunters will get a shot at wolf hunting this fall in Wyoming.
The federal government announced Aug. 31 that Wyoming will have management of wolves beginning Sept. 30.
Whether conservation groups oppose delisting and file for an injunction or not, hunting in Wyoming will go forward at least through October, because any plaintiff filing against delisting must wait 30 days to file a notice after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service files Sept. 30 in the Federal Register
Looks like Wyoming is finally going to get to manage wolves as we want. You can shoot them on sight like coyotes and other predators in any place in the state besides around the Yellowstone NP area. Critics say we are just trying to kill them off everywhere else in the state, but we have to keep a minimum number of wolves so we can't just wipe them all out. (We were also told the wolves would be contained in and around the Yellowstone area) :banghead: Shooting them on sight didn't wipe them all out, it was the poisoning of the litters that drastically reduced thier numbers and the bounties on their pelts. We took a lot of heat from other states telling us to just go along with the plan to only hunt them with issued tags. However, our legislators stuck to their guns, got to give them credit for that. Not trying to rile everyone up on both sides of the issue or get the thread locked. I'm just happy we can finally manage them with a reasonable approach. Wolves are here, I'm not in the kill them all camp. It's never going to happen. However, it's about time wolves are being managed.
