wolf hunting

Stalking pack carnivores

Wolf hunting is the practice of tracking and killing wolves, historically for livestock protection, bounty collection, or sport.

Methods have included trapping, shooting from aircraft, and organized drives.

The activity remains controversial, pitting ranchers and wildlife managers against conservationists: The state reopened wolf hunting after the population recovered.
