Default Wolf bounty

Does anyone know if there’s still a bounty on wolves in Mackenzie County?

Suggest you call the county office. Most of the Bounty offers in other Counties like Saddle Hills have quite a few rules around them. You need to make sure you do the stuff needed to qualify.

Bounty or not I shoot them on sight.

Its time for the Game Bios to get on board with a wolf reduction plan.Including a bounty if possible.

The prime Elk habitat along the eastern slopes is becoming more devoid of Elk as the years go by.

This year the Wolves will have it easy with the crusted deep snow.

I am planning on getting out for a week or so in Feb/March to try and kill a few.

Did the County give any reason why they closed it?

I just read why in the county minutes of the February 2020 report.
Lack of funds. 618 wolves tagged. Dollar wise...250.00 x 618 = 154,500.00

Those are good numbers. That’s a lot of wolves. Well done to all the wolf killers.

Obviously, success killed that program. That's a lot of wolves.
