Rumor has it that Montana wants to allow as many as three times the number of wolf tags in 2010 as they had last year. Hunters killed just over 70 last year and this year they are hoping for around 200. Big game numbers in the wolf recovery area have been crushed in recent years. There is talk of closing some moose units and even some of Montana’s elk areas. When elk tags are cut you know you will motivate hunters and conservationists. The question is whether or not the Parks and Wildlife Commission will approve the recommendations, and if the federal government will object. Remember that Wyoming lost its own wolf hunt last year because they refused to operate within what the federal government considers reasonable.
