Wyoming wolves back under Federal protection!
Now illegal to hunt or kill wolves anywhere within Wyoming’s border
by Cat Urbigkit, Pinedale Online!
September 23, 2014

Today (Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2014), a federal court in Washington, D.C. set aside Wyoming’s authority to manage wolves within the state – reinstituting Endangered Species Act protection for the species within Wyoming’s border. That means that wolves may not be hunted or harvested in the state. No wolf hunting season can take place, and wolves may not be killed even within Wyoming’s predator zone.

Wyoming livestock producers may not take wolves in their livestock herds. If you have problems with wolves, please call your Wyoming Game and Fish Department contacts, or USDA Wildlife Services at 307-362-7238 or 307-320-5109.

We’ll have more on this story shortly as agencies release more information.
