Since Fish and Wildlife put wolves back on the Endangered Species list and back under the agency’s protection in September, the state of Wyoming would have to write new legislation to manage wolves and get the service’s approval. But, first, Fish and Wildlife officials would need to provide Wyoming with a proposal.
"They haven’t come up with a proposal yet," said said Rep. Pat Childers, R-Cody, who is co-chairman of the Wyoming Legislature’s Joint Travel, Recreation, Wildlife and Cultural Resources Committee.
If Wyoming lawmakers decide to alter the previous wolf-management plan completed this year, it will require new statutes, Childers said.
Childers said the state could take the lead of Rep. Keith Gingery, R-Teton/Fremont, who drafted a Wyoming wolf bill after Malloy’s temporary injunction in July, which put wolves back under federal protection.
