Wolf hunting licenses to go on sale in Montana starting Monday

KALISPELL, Mont. — Wolf hunting licenses go on sale Monday in Montana.

The licenses are available from any regional office of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, the agency's website, or any license vendor. Licenses cost $19 for residents and $350 for nonresidents.

The Daily Inter Lake reports that hunters must also have a 2011 conservation license. That license costs $8 for residents and $10 for nonresidents.

State wildlife commissioners last month approved a plan allowing hunters to shoot as many as 220 gray wolves during the hunt that is scheduled to begin in early September.

The hunt is expected to reduce the predator's Montana population by about 25 percent to 425 wolves.
A wolf hunt is also planned in Idaho, where officials have proposed no statewide harvest targets or quotas.
