The Wyoming Game and Fish Department says it will allow fewer wolves to be killed in the next trophy hunting season because the last one contributed to a dip in their population below the state’s objective of 160 wolves; right now, there are 152.
Large carnivore biologist Ken Mills said it wasn’t just hunting that hurt them in 2018 but a variety of factors.
“Fewer pups were born, and we had some higher disease prevalence in the population as well last year that contributed to the decline, as well as wolves killing other wolves, so competition between packs.”

The wolf killers in their infinite stupidity don’t and won’t know when to quit otherwise. There hasn’t been a peep out of them either, to my knowledge. Hmmmm.
