Some 216 wolves are known to have been killed during that brief period, exceeding a quota of 119 wolves that was set by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) outside of reservation lands. By Feb. 24, the hunt was closed by the DNR, four days ahead of schedule. Advocates for the hunt saw it as necessary species management, as well as an issue of constitutional rights for hunters.

The board voted 4-3 against setting a quota and resuming the wolf hunt in February. Tribes, conservation and animal rights groups urged the state not to rush a hunt following the Trump administration’s decision in October to delist the animal as an endangered species. The rule by the former administration went into effect this month. Lawmakers and hunters argued state law requires a wolf hunt when the animal isn’t under federal protection, saying wolf management has been put off for too long. ....
