Wolf hunting and trapping advocates will clash with state and national wildlife advocates in what promises to be a lively Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting on Friday in the state’s capital.
The meeting has been relocated to a larger venue in anticipation of a larger crowd, as both sides mobilize their supporters.
The focus of the debate is Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ proposition to permit the culling of nearly one-third of the state’s wolf population in the 2024-25 season. This proposal is viewed as too many by some and not enough by others.
