Rule Information:

The proposed rule would revise gray wolf harvest regulations. The department initially held a preliminary public hearing for SS 027-21 on April 23, 2021.

The amended statement of scope includes the following additions; exploring establishing consistent shooting hours for wolf hunting, shortening the registration window for successful wolf harvesters and establishing zone specific tags.
