Requiring the extension of wolf hunting season

This bill requires the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission to establish a wolf hunting season that aligns with the spring bear hunting season. It directly affects hunters and wildlife management officials by setting a specific timeframe for wolf hunting across the state. The key provision mandates that the wolf hunting season must end at the same time as the spring bear season, though the commission retains flexibility to adjust dates for specific regional management units. This change modifies existing state law to create a standardized schedule for wolf hunting opportunities.
