wolf hunt

Tracking pack animals

A wolf hunt is an organized effort to track and kill wolves, whether for predator control, sport, or population management.

Historically, wolf hunts aimed to protect livestock and were often community events with bounties.

Modern wolf hunts remain controversial, pitting ranchers and hunters against conservationists: The state approved a limited wolf hunt after the population exceeded targets.
