Beloved Yellowstone Wolf Killed By Trophy Hunter

Wolves that call Yellowstone National Park home are protected from trophy hunters, but any that wander just a few miles past the invisible border are targeted.

Spitfire, the 7-year-old black female wolf, was killed by a trophy hunter just miles outside the park. The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks confirmed that Spitfire was killed legally less than five miles from Yellowstone's northeast entrance.
