I figured as much- a least that is what everyone and his Uncle told me was gonna happen.
What I'd like to know is why a small handful of politically get to make decisions like that? There is absolutely ZERO science behind it, and their decision will ultimately hurt FWP because the more wolves we have the fewer hunting licenses will be sold.
Did they also adopt their new plan for the Shoulder Seasons?

I know what you mean.
At the Billings meeting, they explained that the shoulder seasons in almost the entire Region 5 were not effective at bringing the herds closer to their goals.
Their solution???
Eliminate them and replace them with a special tag that we can purchase for an opportunity to hunt antlerless until, I believe, the first of the year.
So, apparently, if we can't kill enough cows with a tag we already have- charging us for an additional tag and shortening the season by 6 weeks should DEFINITELY work!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not real big on shooting cow elk in February but their plan still got a chuckle out of me.
It's all about access. If all these big landowners want elk off their property, they need to allow hunting- plain and simple. To me, if they don't allow hunting they should not be given any money for the damage that the elk do.

Same as usfw banning polar bear imports. So with one stroke of a pen they killed all guiding in Canada. Income for the villages. Canada sure doesn,t have a problem with hunting polar bears!!! You want to ^%$# something up? Involve a government agency.
Ten wolf tags and a longer season?
How many guys are filling their 5 now? I know we have nowhere near the wolves you guys have, but I can count on one hand the number of guys I know who have killed A wolf, much less 5 in one year.
