Wolf Count Drops Shakes Management Plans | Boise News
Description
Montana’s wolf population just got a major rewrite — new data reveals a drop from over 1,000 to around 725, sparking heated debate over hunting quotas and wildlife management. Critics say the old count was inflated, while officials defend the new iPOM 2.0 model — even without full peer review. Though the proposed hunt is slashed from 450 to 250 wolves, advocates argue it’s still too high. The state insists the cap keeps wolves above the 450 threshold needed to avoid endangered status. With the Fish and Wildlife Commission set to vote soon, the battle over numbers and conservation continues.
