On February 21 FWP Warden Steve Magone retrieved a dead adult female wolf from the Libby Area.  The matter is under investigation by state and federal officers, so no further information can be released at this time.

FWP’s federally approved wolf management program aims to conserve and actively manage a recovered wolf poulation in a manner similar to the way lions and black bears are managed.  FWP seeks to maintain a benchmark of 15 breeding pairs of wolves in Montana.
