Montana FWP: State has overestimated wolf population by hundreds

Montana's Fish, Wildlife, and Parks department has discovered that the state's wolf population has been overestimated by hundreds, suggesting that previous counts were inflated. This revelation could significantly impact hunting and trapping regulations, with a recommendation to halve the upcoming quotas. The discrepancy highlights the challenges in wildlife population monitoring and could have broader implications for conservation policies and the management of wolf populations across the region.
