Federal money had run out for helping Minnesota farmers and ranchers control wolves.

Considerable success attributed to opener falling on a weekend, winter weather pushing lots of sportsmen into the field, and that this is a species that may temporarily have lost its fear of man.

Idaho hunters are already allowed to kill wolves attracted to bait put out for bears. The change could have allowed hunters to target wolves with bait outside bear season.

SPOKANE, Wash. — Officials in Washington state have authorized the killing of one or more members of a wolf pack in the northeast corner of the state following attacks on cattle. The Spokesman-Review reports

Report finds that wolves killed 243 livestock, including one horse, in 2016 in Wyoming. As a result, wildlife managers last year killed 113 wolves that were confirmed to be attacking livestock.

The first pack hasn’t been spotted since May 2016.

In Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, hunting could return as soon as this fall if federal protections are removed for the predators.

Planning is now underway for the hunt in northwestern Wyoming, which will probably be similar to the state’s last wolf hunting seasons in 2012 and 2013.

Wyoming allowed regulated hunting just east and south of Yellowstone and Grand Teton during the fall, but concern focused on how wolves could be shot on sight in most of the state.
