Wolf Debate Reportedly Less Polarized Than Thanksgiving Dinner
A new report from Explore Big Sky suggests that Montana’s long-running debate over wolf management may not be as bitterly divided as previously assumed, with ranchers and conservationists reportedly finding more common ground than anyone expected — or, in some cases, wanted.
“I don’t hate wolves,” said area rancher Vern Tillis, who has lost calves to predation in three of the last five years. “I just want to be able to manage the situation without someone in Missoula writing a letter about it.”
