Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) has released its proposed changes for this year's wolf trapping season.

The changes are meant to avoid accidentally capturing or injuring grizzly bears in traps.

Wolf trapping in Western Montana and the Rocky Mountain Front regions will start on Jan. 1, 2025, and run through mid-February.

Trappers targeting non-game species on land in the western portion of the state must also get a free supplemental trapping permit starting in December.

There are also specific regulations and restrictions for foot-hold traps and snares.

FWP is accepting public comment on the proposal and will finalize the regulations at a Nov. 12, 2024, meeting.

The meeting will be held in person at Montana WILD in Helena, starting at 8:30 a.m. The meeting will also be streamed online, and people who want to comment virtually on agenda items must register here by 12 p.m. on Nov. 11.

Hmmm.
Dang climate change must be helping bears be out in the dead of winter?


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

More regulations based on emotions. Frustrating

How many grizzly bears are caught in traps each year? My guess is none.

How many FWP decisions like this are ever changed by public input that does NOT come from anti’s?

In Montana or the world. In the world, my guess is more than one.

P.S. Not that it is a conservation issue.
