Wolf quota to at least double.

If Montana is full, and has enough resident hunters to take care of their game animals and predators. Then what's the problem?

$$$$

Out of state hunters add quite a bit of money to Montana's economy.

No matter what the tag cost is Montana is on the edge of some bad stuff for out of state hunters.
There is some movements that are bringing legislation to start changing how out of state licenses work and the numbers. The general Montana hunter will support legislation to eliminate out of state hunting before the hunting is gone.
The native Montanans are getting fairly growly about out of state hunting, not because of you guys that are from out of state but that between the wolves and other hunters things are getting touchy and out of state hunters end up getting hit.
More important than out of state hunting dollars is being able to fill the freezer from our old hunting spots.
Even if you don't kill a wolf at least through some support to organizations working to get this wolf problem under control.

biggreen, what about limiting out of state humters to hunting wolves only? Then that would help reduce wolve populations while not reducing other game populations. Make sense or not really?

There is a letter sent to Defenders of Wildlife from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in the MRS section of the Eastmans Journal. It is worth reading for those who are looking for numbers and the effect of the wolves.
