蒙大拿州法官维持州2025年458只狼的猎狼配额, A Montana judge upheld the state’s 2025 wolf hunt quota of 458 wolves, rejecting challenges over population data.

蒙大拿州法官允许国家2025年的猎狼和捕猎季节以458头狼为总配额, 拒绝保护团体对有缺陷的人口数据的挑战。 A Montana judge has allowed the state’s 2025 wolf hunting and trapping season to proceed with a total quota of 458 wolves, rejecting conservation groups’ challenge over flawed population data. 这些团体认为,国家使用iPOM模型高估了狼的数量,有可能损害物种,但法院没有发现任何不可弥补的伤害证据。 The groups argue the state’s use of the iPOM model overestimates wolf numbers, risking harm to the species, but the court found no proof of irreparable harm. 国家野狼人口估计为1 091人, 略低于十年平均人数, 2024年348只狼被清除。 The state’s wolf population is estimated at 1,091, slightly below its 10-year average, with 348 wolves removed in 2024. 同时,蒙大拿更新了2026年和2027年的狩猎规则,将非居民鹿的许可证限制在2 500人,将大多数驯鹿B的许可证限制在私人土地,将居民限制在三只鹿的许可证范围内,目的是在非居民不断增长的狩猎压力下保护不断减少的驯鹿数量。 Meanwhile, Montana has updated hunting rules for 2026 and 2027, capping nonresident deer licenses by 2,500, restricting most mule deer B licenses to private land, and limiting residents to three deer licenses, aiming to protect declining mule deer populations amid growing nonresident hunting pressure.
