The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service informed Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks that bills being passed by the state Legislature could keep grizzly bears on the Endangered Species list.
FWP Director Hank Worsech testified in “light” opposition to the bill, saying the agency has seen a drop from nearly 800 volunteer instructors in 2019 to about 400 today.
The bill on drones also ran into immediate concerns at its first hearing Thursday over questions on whether it would allow people to hunt wolves from the air and when drones could be used.
