Echinococcus granulosus: Wolves and other canids are known carriers of a parasitic tapeworm (E. granulosus) that is linked to hydatid disease in humans. Hunters are encouraged to wear rubber gloves when skinning canids and to avoid handling canid feces. Read more about the disease.

Attention Wolf Trappers: Wolf trapping rules have changed since the 2012 Big Game Seasons and Rules brochure was published. Please check this wolf trapping rules brochure for changes to the rules:
