Yellowstone Wolves
Montana wildlife officials have shut down wolf hunting and trapping in areas bordering Yellowstone.
Over the past few weeks, hunters have killed seven wolves originally from Yellowstone National Park. Each of the wolves wore a GPS research collar, which helps park officials to monitor the wolf packs’ movements.
How wolves in Yellowstone have impacted their environment is an evolving story, but federal biologists have tried to match what they predicted a decade ago in an Environmental Impact Statement, with what’s happened regarding ungulate populations, hunter harvest, domestic livestock, and land use.
