Although the kind of sick fucks who get a kick out of killing wolves in Montana would pay ten times that amount, their “game” departments are handing out wolf tags like candy—so much for the notion that hunting licenses raise a lot of money for wildlife.
But, as evidenced by the article below, the mainstream media would not judge or condemn anyone who gets a thrill from killing non-human animals. Instead, their informative yet dispassionate reporting legitimizes the ongoing atrocity of wolf hunting…
MT: Changes in store for Montana’s 2013-14 wolf hunt
Posted on July 26, 2013 by TWIN Observer
Written by Tribune Staff
Montana’s Fish & Wildlife Commission recently approved regulations for the upcoming wolf season.
For the 2013-14 seasons, hunters will have the opportunity to pursue wolves throughout Montana beginning Sept. 7 for archery hunting, Sept. 15 for the general rifle season and Dec. 15 for trapping. The archery only season will close Sept. 14, and the general season will end March 15. Wolf trapping season ends Feb. 28
Wolf hunting licenses cost $19 for residents and $50 for nonresidents. License sales should begin by Aug. 5. Montana trapping licenses are currently on sale for $20 for residents and $250 for nonresidents.
New prospective wolf trappers must attend a mandatory wolf-trapping certification class to use a Montana trapping license to trap wolves and can sign up at fwp.mt.gov. Trappers who successfully completed a wolf trapping certification class in Montana or Idaho in the past do not need to retake one this year.
There is no statewide hunting harvest or trapping quota, but each wolf harvest must be reported. There is, however, a quota of two wolves in Wolf Management Unit 110 near Glacier National Park; four wolves in WMU 313 and three wolves in WMU 316, which borders Yellowstone National Park. Additionally, hunters and trappers are limited to taking only one wolf per person in WMUs 110, 313 and 316.
FWP urges hunters to avoid harvesting wolves with radio collars that provide researchers and managers with important scientific information.
The combined maximum hunting and trapping bag limit is five wolves per person. A hunter can purchase up to five wolf hunting licenses but can harvest only one wolf with each license. The use of electronic calls by wolf hunters is allowed.
Trappers must check their traps every 48 hours and immediately report any unintended animal caught in a trap, including domestic animals. Wolf traps must be set back 1,000 feet from trailheads and 150 feet from roads, the commission will consider in August a new measure that requires additional setbacks along more than 20 specific roads and trails popular among hikers and other recreationists in western Montana. If approved, the locations will be posted on FWP’s website.
Montana wolf specialists counted 625 wolves, in 147 verified packs, and 37 breeding pairs in the state at the end of 2012. The count dropped about 4 percent from the previous year and marked the first time since 2004 that the minimum count declined.
Last season the total hunting and trapping harvest was of 225 wolves. Hunters took 128 wolves and trappers 97.
Delisting allows Montana to manage wolves in a manner similar to how bears, mountain lions and other wildlife species are managed, guided completely by state management plans and laws.

What. The. Fuck. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shame I live in the UK, I wish there was something I could do to stop this…
And to add to the misery, I got this story in my inbox today from The Daily Maul http://thedailymaul.com/?p=8076
They are sicko… 😦
It is shameful how can you be PROUD of these massacres not applicable just to?????? what?????
What is wrong with people today isn’t there enough death
Good question

“FWP urges hunters to avoid harvesting wolves with radio collars that provide researchers and managers with important scientific information.” Uh-huh. These unfortunate animals have become the biggest trophies of all. More braggin’ rights when you’ve got the collar! Wake up FWP.
I would gladly buy 5 of there damn licenses, but I would travel there just take there stupid fucking class shit !!!!!! I tried to pick from the new top 20 names for the Wildlife Service they were so many I wanted to use that I decided to go with number 18 Fucin’ Neanderthals!!!!!!
That they are.
The problem is, there’s no limit to how many wolves can be killed this year, so if you buy 5 tags they’ll just issue 5 more to actual killers.
What can anyone say? It’s disturbing and heartbreaking — to say the least — to see what passes for entertainment and prowess. Hunters and trappers especially are a small, small portion of the population but the fish & “game” agencies work solely on behalf of these torturers and killers. Why don’t the rest of us, who far outnumber the psychos, have a say?
Could I despise these heartless bastards and the vile filth who work for these agencies more? Impossible.
May all the suffering they spew into the world come right back and lodge in their hearts, and may demons everywhere descend on them so they know the fiery agony of terror and despair, just like their victims. Isn’t there a proverb — Live by the sword, die by the sword? How fitting.
What an astounding bunch of sick fuckheads.
Yep, astounding
Yes, I agree with the above comments. We have many very sick, cruel and bloodthirsty people that in the end, “will get theirs”—-and I don’t mean an innocent animal. ” Karma”
I try to avoid looking at the photos-the images burn into my brain and I’ve seen too many. There is a hunting column in the newspaper here and it is appalling how people smile brightly as they describe their hunting adventures. Big toothy grins. And the paper prints the stories and encourages the carnage. How are we ever going to get these people to see the light? We won’t.
I’m with you, I can’t stand those kind photos. That’s why I only included photos of live animals in my book.
Thank You to the politicians who made this happen – especially Jon Tester & Mike Simpson, then ALL of the Democrats who voted to delist wolves for a Senate seat.

Their actions undermine the future of the Endangered Species Act
My heart breaks when I see pictures like that. I can’t stand it.
All hunters are seriously evil to kill for fun their is something very wrong with these people.
Seriously

Finally you run out of words to express how repulsive the wolf killers are. The people who can participate in such torture are just defective. Unfortunately they are free to act and breed.
I also question the use of hunting licenses to help finance a government agency. How can that not affect the “science” and decision making of wildlife management?
And this: The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, a hunting group, has given thousands of dollars to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and to Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks. Most of it was to fund radio collaring of wolves and paying for wolf-killing operations. (Source is “In Wolf Country” by Jim Yuskavitch.)
So, a private organization paying public agencies to carry out pro-hunt wildlife policy???
