HELENA – A district judge in Helena has decided to allow Montana’s wolf hunting and trapping regulations for the 2022 season to move forward. District Court Judge Chris Abbott ruled against environmental groups that filed suit saying the regulations would threaten the state’s wolf population, and declined their request for a preliminary injunction to block the rules. It means hunters will be able to take up to ten wolves per season by hunting and ten by trapping, and the use of snares to take wolves will be allowed.
