BILLINGS, Mont. — Montana and Idaho are moving to host the first open gray-wolf hunts in the Lower 48 states after the animal’s removal from the endangered list across much of the northern Rockies.
Montana wildlife commissioners voted Wednesday to let hunters throughout the state shoot 75 wolves, or 15 percent of Montana’s population, beginning in mid-September.
In Idaho, commissioners meet later this month to set a quota. A prior plan called for hunting almost 250 wolves.
