BILLINGS –
All six members of the Rosebud wolf pack have been killed, a spokesman for the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks said Friday.
The last two of the six wolves in the pack were killed Friday, said agency spokesman Bob Gibson.
The pack was targeted after recently killing two yearling heifers on a ranch near Absarokee.
Authorities said the same pack had killed a yearling on another area ranch in January and two calves last year.
The first two wolves were killed after being caught in leg-hold snares on March 30.
Gibson said two more wolves were killed about a week ago, and the last two were killed Friday.
The last two wolves were both wearing radio collars, Gibson said.
(MARCH 31, 2016) Two of the wolves blamed for the death of two yearling heifers on a ranch near Absarokee were killed on Wednesday afternoon.
The cattle deaths were reported on Friday, prompting officials with Montana Wildlife Services of the U.S. Department of Agriculture to set leg-hold snares near the carcasses.
The two wolves are part of a Rosebud pack that killed a yearling on a nearby ranch in January and two other calves last year.
Due to the problematic nature of pack, the decision has been made by Wildlife Services to eradicate all six wolves in the pack.
According to Bob Gibson of Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, the situation remains ‘ongoing.’
FWP reports that 44 cattle were killed by wolves in Montana last year, and another 14 were injured.
