It won’t save a single cub, sow or boar, but last week the status changed for the 600-and-some grizzly bears that roam in and around Yellowstone National Park.
The Yellowstone population of grizzlies was reclassified as “endangered” and if it won’t make a lick of difference to the bears, the designation could affect how and where you hunt in one of the most wildlife-rich regions of America.

The first wolf to be legally harvested in Montana in a generation was killed yesterday in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, just hours into the season.
Hunter Perry Zumwalt of Roberts, Montana, shot the wolf mid Tuesday morning in the Lost Creek drainage of the wilderness area of District 316 just north of Yellowstone National Park, according to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, which requires successful hunters to report their harvest within 12 hours of the kill.
