Billings, Mont. – Yellowstone National Park's lead wolf biologist says the number of wolves in the park has probably decreased since a survey was conducted last winter.

Yellowstone's 11 packs comprised 171 wolves according last winter's survey. But biologist Doug Smith is predicting the number will be down when a survey is conducted again this winter.

He says three of the wolf packs have no pups and several others have few in what could be another outbreak of distemper.

Cheyenne, Wyo. – State regulators say oil and gas companies are working hard to avoid violating federal air pollution standards in southwest Wyoming this coming winter.

Cheyenne, Wyo. – The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a wolf management plan that could end federal protections for the animals in Montana and Idaho while leaving them in place in Wyoming.

The federal agency's push comes after a federal judge in Montana earlier this month signed an order reinstating federal protections for the wolves in all three states.

The judge criticized Wyoming's wolf management plan, which calls for classifying the animals as predators that could be shot on sight in most of the state.

Laramie, Wyo. – Some gun enthusiasts say they're afraid a Barack Obama Administration will ban so-called assault weapons, so they're buying a lot more of them now in the run-up to the election.

Command Surplus in Florida is a distributor to gun shops around the country, including shops in Wyoming. Daniel Posner is a partner in the firm. He says sales of assault-style weapons have increased by about 30 percent in the last three months.
