HELENA – Furbearer and wolf hunting and trapping regulations for the 2024-2025 season are on the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission agenda for Aug. 16. To give Fish, Wildlife & Parks additional opportunity to assess wolf trapping dates and where those dates would apply, agenda discussion and decision on those specific aspects of the wolf trapping regulations will be postponed until the commission meeting on Oct. 10.
All other elements of the 2024 wolf harvest regulations including hunting dates, harvest quotas, bag limits, trap setbacks, harvest reporting and proposed amendments will remain on the Aug. 16 meeting agenda.
By postponing commission action only on the trapping dates and where they apply, the wolf hunting regulations would be publicly available after the Aug. 16 commission meeting, before the start of the wolf hunting season.
The proposed trapping dates and where those dates apply will be posted on FWP’s website before the October meeting for the public to review and provide comment. After the October meeting, a supplement outlining trapping dates and where they apply would be available before the start of the wolf trapping season.
