As an outfitter I support the lowering of fees for NR wolf tags. Until last year, wolves had never been hunted here in Montana. After a few years these wolves are going to adapt and learn to avoid humans at all cost, and filling quotas is going to get real hard. By lowering the cost for NR we will create an "opportunity" kill that we would not have with high priced NR tags, and I believe that will help facilitate the filling of quotas.
I understand FWP position right now. Currently, the wolf season is still under scrutiny of the federal courts. Federal judge Malloy will hear arguments again in a few weeks, if we can pass this last court case, I think it will free FWP up to have some more liberal seasons and fees. I am optimistic about the future of wolf hunting in Montana, and with reasonable NR fees, we can keep the wolf in check.
