Require unlimited wolf hunting quota when population is at or above 450 wolves
This bill requires Montana's Fish and Wildlife Commission to implement an unlimited statewide wolf hunting quota when the gray wolf population reaches 450 or more. Under this provision, hunters and trappers could legally harvest an unlimited number of wolves, use bait for hunting, and hunt on private land at night with artificial light or night vision equipment. The legislation also mandates consistent data modeling methods for counting wolf populations and allows landowners to take wolves threatening safety or livestock without a hunting license, subject to annual quotas.
