Fish and Wildlife Commission adopts wolf trapping regulations for 2024-25 season
Gray wolf
The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted regulations for the upcoming wolf and furbearer trapping seasons Nov. 12 that keep court-ordered rules for trapping wolves in place but include a permit process for some trappers and the removal of some setbacks on certain roads in Ravalli County.
The amendments and full slate of regulations received some support and opposition on different facets from both trapping groups and those that want Montana to conserve more wolves.
While no commissioners audibly voted against approving the regulations, Region 3 Commissioner Susan Kirby Brooke did vote against Region 2 Commissioner Jeff Burrows’ amendment to remove setbacks on the Ravalli County roads that are closed to motor vehicle and off-highway vehicle use during the trapping season.
