RMEF Supports Extended Wolf Hunt in Montana

RMEF Supports Extended Wolf Hunt in Montana

MISSOULA, Mont.—The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is on record supporting a proposal to extend wolf-hunting seasons in Montana through the end of 2011, and beyond if necessary, until the harvest quota is met.

In a Nov. 28, 2011, letter to the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Department, RMEF President and CEO David Allen wrote, “RMEF believes that it is very important that hunters be allowed as much time as possible during these winter months to harvest the statewide quota of 220 wolves.”

Allen reminded the agency that elk and other big game herds in certain areas are being significantly impacted by burgeoning wolf populations, along with black bears, grizzlies and mountain lions. RMEF encouraged state officials to actively manage and control predators in these areas.

RMEF also suggested reviewing “means of take” regulations to maximize opportunities for hunters to meet harvest quotas.

“It is very unlikely that sport hunting will provide adequate control of wolf populations going forward. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and the public should prepare for more aggressive wolf control methods, perhaps as early as summer 2012,” added Allen.
Americans are systematically advocating, legislating, and voting away each others rights. Support all user groups & quit losing opportunity!

I read 2 articles this week. One said that we've only filled 91 of 200 wolf tags. The other was about a wolf shot an hour from my house that was collared in Jackson, WY; 300+ miles away.
