This year’s Montana wolf hunt proposal stirred things up a bit . . .
The public response to the plans for this year’s wolf hunt in Montana has been staggering: A whopping 6,500 comments have been received on the proposal set for approval Thursday by the Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission.
That far outnumbers the 1,500 comments received on the 2011 wolf hunt plan and just about doubles the comments FWP took on last year’s hotly debated proposal to relocate Yellowstone National Park bison, agency officials said.
Driving the renewed interest is a proposal to expand the hunt to include trapping for the first time, along with bow and rifle seasons.
