Email to a Friend  Print this Article

CORRECTION: The quota in WMU 2 was incorrectly listed as filled. 21 of 22 wolves have been taken.   The WMU will still close as will the rest of the state ½ hour after sunset on November 16, 2009. 



CORRECTED VERSION: 

Wolf hunting in Montana will close statewide Monday, November 16, 2009 at one half-hour after sunset.

The order halting the hunt came after Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials received word that quotas were close to and there was the strong possibility they would be met in WMU 1 and WMU 2.   Thirty-eight of the quota of 41 wolves had been taken in Unit 1 and 21 of 22 in WMU 2.   WMU 3 was closed on October 26, 2009, the quota of 12 wolves was exceeded by 1 in the unit.    Montana’s statewide quota was 75 wolves.
