Gray Wolves were reintroduced into the American Rockies in 1974, and they made one of the fastest recoveries on record. By 2000, the species had reached recovery goals, including a population of at least 30 breeding pairs. Wolves were subsequently delisted, and their numbers continued to grow.

Montana and Idaho initiated public hunting seasons for Gray Wolves, and hunters harvested hundreds of the animals. However, in August of 2010, Federal District Judge Donald W. Molloy ruled that Western Gray Wolves be returned to the list, resulting in the cancellation of planned wolf hunting seasons in both states.

Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming Wolf Management Plans

Judge Molloy ruled that although Montana and Idaho have adequate plans for the continued management of the wolves, Wyoming’s plan is insufficient. Declaring that the Western Gray Wolf population of all three states is essentially a single population, the judge determined that it is not acceptable to manage them by political region.

As a result, until Wyoming has a management plan in place that satisfies the federal government, Idaho and Montana can not resume the management of wolves within their state boundaries, even though Idaho and Montana have already demonstrated adequate management plans.

Animal Rights Groups and Hunters Take Positions on Gray Wolf Question

Animal rights organizations applaud Judge Molloy’s decision, while hunter’s rights organizations protest it. Suzanne Stone, of Defenders of Wildlife, explains her position.

“We’re not talking about keeping wolves on the Endangered Species List forever,” she says. “We are firm advocates of the North American model of wildlife conservation, which includes a role for hunting. But, you can’t drive them down until they are almost eradicated. That happened once, and it could happen again.”
