FWP releases 2023 wolf report
Population strong after increased harvest
The wolf population in Montana remains
healthy, according to the 2023 Montana Fish,
Wildlife & Parks Wolf Report. Increased harvest
during the 2023 wolf season has not yet resulted in
an estimated decline to the statewide total. However,
FWP biologists expect to see a moderate decline in
wolf numbers next year resulting from the increased
harvest in early 2024.
“We are committed to following the law to
reduce wolf numbers to a sustainable level, which
means ensuring Montana has a healthy state
managed population,” said Quentin Kujala, FWP
Chief of Conservation Policy. “The statewide
wolf population estimate for calendar year 2023
is approximately 1,100 wolves, similar to 2022.

At the Aug. 16 Fish and Wildlife Commission
