Wolf Conservation Efforts

On September 17, 2025, a beloved Yellowstone wolf, 1479F was shot legally outside of the park by a Montana wolf hunter. Her death was a deeply sad one, for one person said “…she was one of the funniest wolves to watch.” 1479F’s death sparked concerns for the protections of Yellowstone wolves. 1479F was 2.5 years old when she died, so it was especially heartbreaking of how young she was. 1479F was the daughter of the one-eyed 907F who died on Christmas day 2024 due to a run in with another wolf pack. (And just FYI: this post will be a little bit shorter than normal because of how young 1479F was, and I almost know nothing about her, so sorry lol). If I’m being honest, I heard about 1479F’s death I think the day she died (If not it was a few days later), and it just touched my heart, and I also among the many people who think this it’s just for me personally to think that it’s concerning to see a wolf like 1479F who was so young be killed legally outside of Yellowstone. 1479F’s death occured in Montana hunting unit 316. She was the only pup to survive in 907F’s litter. Rumors say that 1479F had a mate and pups, but the pups all died, but this may or may not be true.

This is another case of a wolf being killed outside of the park in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. But we can stop this from happening, that’s why I made this blog, to help wolves. Thank you for reading this post! Have a great day! Awooooooooooooooooo!!!!

If I’m being honest, I made the photo above this caption. I made in the best way possible 1479F’s travels before she was shot. The yellow pin on the bottom shows Junction Butte Pack territory, (1479F’s starting route) and the blue line shows the possible route she took. Lastly, the rectangle, and the yellow pin in it depict Montana wolf hunting unit 316 (where 1479F was shot). (I used my dad’s military app for this it helps with practice drills and such)
