Heading into the final week of the big game hunting season, the deer and elk harvest picked up but still lags behind last year’s numbers while the wolf harvest is approaching quotas for a few Northwest Montana hunting districts.
Northwest Montana has six wolf hunting districts with a combined hunting quota of 71 wolves.
For District 101 covering the area between Libby and Kalispell, hunters have taken down 15 wolves out of a quota of 19 for the district.
In District 130 covering the area east of Kalispell including the Swan Valley, nine wolves have been harvested; the quota is 12.
And in the North Fork’s District 110, one wolf has been harvested out of the quota of two.
