The Montana House Fish, Wildlife and Parks Committee will consider two bills on Tuesday that would regulate wolf hunting.
HB 222, introduced by 14 legislators, states, “The commission shall authorize a wolf hunting season with an unlimited quota that must continue until the wolf population in the state is at or below 600 wolves.”
HB 176, introduced by more than a dozen legislators, states,”For game management purposes, the commission shall institute an unlimited statewide quota when the total population in the state equals or exceeds 450 wolves.”
Both bills will be heard at 3 p.m. in Room 173. For more information, click here.
