Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is looking for tips on a wolf that was poached in the Burnt Fork area of the Bitterroot Valley, east of Stevensville, on Saturday, May 31.
The two year old male wolf had dispersed to Montana from Oregon and was wearing a GPS collar, which provided wildlife officials with movement data and gave an estimated time of death between 6 and 9 pm on May 31. The wolf was found shot near a road between Sawmill Saddle and Ambrose Saddle in upper Haacke Creek.
The wolf was collared in Oregon in 2013 and had made its way through Idaho and the Big Hole Valley before prior to arriving in the Bitterroot earlier this month.
Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to call 1-800-TIP-MONT (1-800-847-6668). Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward up to $1,000 for providing information that leads to a conviction.

Look for a Montana Yokel, synonym redneck, but too many of them here in Montana. You should see the blogs: Different ways of saying the same thing, but basically SSS (shoot, shovel and shut up) or “good start” one down xxx to go. Who are the real varmints? The yokels, I think. If we could collar them and track them??
What a tragedy–and it is happening every day. As this slaughter continues, no wolf will be safe. Here in New Mexico, the same situation: the small population of Mexican Wolves are targets for ranchers/hunters. They want livestock out there on public lands, period. This is why some of us refuse to compromise or in any way, “work with” these public lands moochers. Yet, we have so-called “wildlife” groups who want to pay ranchers more money, besides the many subsidies they get, in the “hope” that they will be “predator friendly.” These yokels (great name, Roger), do whatever the hell they want out there on public lands, and they are laughing at those “wildlife lovers” who think they can buy these killers off.
