According to the LA Times:
Montana officials Monday ended the first general wolf hunt in the southern part of the state just a day after it started, when the number of animals killed exceeded the season quota for the region.
Apparently there are around 500 wolves in Montana. Montana is 381,087 square kilometers. That works out to around one (1) wolf per 762 sq km. Last time I checked wolves didn’t use that much room. Meanwhile the human population is around 968,000. Which works out around 2.5 people per square kilometer.
