Wyoming Game and Fish to trap/release wolves

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department plans to trap and release wolves near Dubois, Cody and Pinedale over the next few months. The game department is required to monitor wolf populations under its agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that ended federal oversight of wolves in the state last year. Once the state agency traps the wolves, it will immobilize them and then process them before releasing them on site. The trapping will occur in the Absaroka Range north of Dubois and west of Cody, the Wind River Range near Dubois and the Gros Ventre Range, north of Pinedale and east of Bondurant. The game department plans to post all trapping sites and says it's critical that the public doesn't enter posted areas.
