Wolf hunting, trapping seasons close in Regions 5, 6 and 7

Season already closed in Wolf Management Unit 313 

HELENA – The hunting and trapping of wolves in Region 5, 6 and 7 will close a half hour after sunset Jan. 21. 

The order halting the harvest of wolves in these regions came after Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials received word that the pre-established harvest quota of five wolves in these regions had been met. With the exception of Wolf Management Unit 313, wolf harvest quotas elsewhere in the state have yet to be met.  

Those interested in up-to-date information on the status of Montana’s wolf harvest can view FWP’s wolf dashboard, which  shows the number of wolves harvested by region and WMU. The dashboard is updated multiple times per day. 

Currently, the dashboard is experiencing technical issues. FWP staff are working to fix the problem.
