Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks has announced that wolf trapping is now open in all state Wolf Management Units.
A press release says after monitoring grizzly bear activity across much of the state, FWP biologists determined the potential risk for trapping conflicts in grizzly bear areas is low.
FWP biologists have been monitoring grizzly bear activity with a variety of methods since early November. This includes monitoring collared grizzly bears, sightings of bears in the field, weather assessments and reports from the public.
The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted final changes to the 2021 wolf trapping regulations at its October 28th meeting. The adoption included a “floating” start date for wolf trapping in areas with grizzly bears to be no earlier than the Monday after Thanksgiving, and no later than December 31st.
