LC 3345 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Eliminate reimbursements for hunting or trapping wolves

This bill eliminates reimbursements for costs incurred while hunting or trapping wolves in Montana. It amends Montana Code Annotated 87-6-214 by removing subsection (1)(d), which previously allowed licensed hunters and trappers to be reimbursed for expenses related to wolf hunting or trapping. The change directly affects licensed wolf hunters and trappers by ending state-funded reimbursement for their operational costs. The policy shift aligns with Montana's adherence to wildlife conservation principles that prohibit commercial exchange for harvested wildlife. The amendment takes effect immediately upon passage.
