Several wolves well-known among Yellowstone wildlife watchers were killed in Montana during the 2012-13 hunting season. They were among 12 wolves living primarily in Yellowstone that were killed that year after crossing into adjacent areas of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.Under pressure from the park and advocacy groups, Montana wildlife commissioners tried to set up a no-kill buffer zone east and west of the town of Gardiner in 2012.
In typical antihunter mentality they allowed wolves to overpopulate in YNP, as a result the food sources were severely limited, now wolves move out of the park to find food. It should be open season when wolves leave the park, you can never please these anti hunting idiots anyway, end of story.
Problem is the wolf lovers are the ones being heard. This is usually thru lawsuits. The population goes above the agreed upon quota, the state wants to control the number, then the lovers sue the state dragging it out so the population goes out of control. If you think that they don't want to eliminate hunting altogether you are fooling your self.

They do as much conservation as I do full splits. I can't figure out if public broadcasting is really that stupid or if they're just incredibly biased, or a little of both. I know all of these public broadcaster outlets use "reporters" who are around 12-15 years old, seemingly. Probably fresh out of college with all kinds of ideas implanted into the empty spaces.
I think wolves should be managed like other wildlife
