• 2.5 feet tall • Round ears • 1.5 feet tall • 5-6 feet long • Color light gray to black • 4 feet long • 70-120 pounds • Long, low howl • 30-40 pounds • Broad snout • Narrow snout • Pointed ears • Color light gray to brown

Actual size coyote track (typical adult front foot) • Track 2.5 inches wide, 2 to 2.5 inches long • Claws evident

Wolf Parasites Mange • Some wolves have mange – a skin parasite that results in the loss of fur on the wolf. In mild cases, the wolf can lose hair on its tail, lower belly, or the lower parts of its legs. In severe cases, a wolf can lose hair across a large part of its body. Hunters can visually scan a wolf to see if it shows signs of hair loss. If it does, you may choose to not take the animal, as its fur will likely not be in prime condition for tanning. If you shoot a wolf that does show signs of mange, tag the animal and report the kill to FWP. You may be issued another Wolf License. Tape Worm • Wolves commonly carry tapeworm in their intestinal tract called Echinococcus granulosus. There is some risk of humans becoming infected with this parasite. • Hunters should wear gloves when field dressing a wolf, coyote, or fox carcass, and wash hands and forearms Actual size wolf track thoroughly, since they may have come into contact with (typical adult front foot) contaminated feces or fur. When skinning any animal, use common sense precautions: wear rubber (latex) gloves, • Tracks 4.5 inches wide, minimize contact with animal fluids, brain and spinal 5 to 5.5 inches long tissues, and wash hands and instruments thoroughly after field dressing. Carry and use hand sanitizer. • Claws evident • For more information visit the FWP website at: fwp.mt.gov/fishAndWildlife/management/wolf/safety.html 14 Turn In Poachers. Enough is Enough!
