It's irresponsible to pass these bills, when we don't even have an accurate count of the wolf population in Montana. The iPOM method is not a true count. Hopefully, as the bills move through the process, the information provided by Dr. Doug Smith is considered. montanafreepress.org/2025/01/24/t....
