CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — Wildlife
officials monitoring gray wolf populations will be capturing the animals
in parts of northwestern Wyoming.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports
(http://bit.ly/1mFdRYc ) the wolves will be immobilized, processed and
released on site and monitored. All areas where the trapping will be
taking place will be marked with warning signs.
Information gained from the trapping will be used to assess the wolf populations in Wyoming and to direct wolf management.
In
April, Gov. Matt Mead released a report prepared by the Wyoming Game
and Fish Department that said there were at least 306 wolves in at least
43 packs — including more than 23 breeding pairs — in Wyoming at the
end of 2013.
Of that total, at least 95 wolves in at least 11 packs were in Yellowstone National Park.
