*MADISON, Wis. (AP)* — Senators from three states have introduced 
legislation to lift federal protections for gray wolves in Wyoming, 
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan and return responsibility for managing 
those populations to the states.

The bill introduced Tuesday comes from senators Ron Johnson and Tammy 
Baldwin of Wisconsin, John Barrasso and Enzi of Wyoming, and Amy 
Klobuchar of Minnesota.

The Interior Department has tried several times to take wolves in the 
four states off the endangered list but has been blocked by the courts. 
Both the Senate bill and one introduced in the House last week would 
prevent the courts from overruling the decision.

Similar proposals stalled out last year, partly due to White House 
opposition. But farm and rancher groups and other wolf hunting 
supporters hope that changes under the Trump administration.
