Wolf hunting and trapping advocates will clash with state and national wildlife advocates at a contentious 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 gather their supporters.
The controversy revolves around Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ proposal to permit the killing of nearly one-third of the state’s wolf population in the 2024-25 season, a number that is deemed excessive by some and insufficient by others.
