Are 350 Wolves Enough For Wyoming? Depends On Who You Asktinyurl.com/efx5dfedWith roughly 350 wolves calling Wyoming home, the state’s wolf population is at “healthy levels,” according to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and a livestock industry spokesman said the current wolf management plan is working.However, a wildlife conservation advocate said wolves should be allowed to expand their territory and increase their numbers.There are three tiers of wolf management in Wyoming.Inside Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, wolves remain under full federal protection and may not be hunted.In the trophy game management area, roughly 15% of Wyoming adjacent to the parks, wolves may be hunted during set seasons, and hunters must have wolf tags.In the rest of Wyoming, or roughly 85% of the state, wolves are designated as a predatory species and may be killed at any time, with no bag limit or tags required.Some feel Wyoming’s wolf management plan is working only if the goal is to essentially keep the wolf population holed up in the northwest corner of the state.Some people like that containment policy, but Wyoming Wildlife Advocates and other conservation groups would like to see wolves allowed to establish packs across more of the state.Wolves are a vital part of a “healthy, biodiverse ecosystem,” but Wyoming’s predator zone won’t allow them to fulfill that role.Wolves don’t really have a chance of getting out of Wyoming. Wolves that go into the predator zone are killed pretty quickly.photo: @woWolfphotography.com ... See MoreSee Less
