Larry:

I am sure the bulk of Greens would like to ban hunting entirely for several reasons:

Hunting is bad because-

1) It legitimizes private ownership of firearms
2) It legitimizes a culture of DIY - if a citizen can partly feed himself and protect himself, said citrizen might harbor ideas about doing for himself what the elites from Harvard and Berkely desire to do for him.
3) It reminds the sqeamish that Man is a carnivore with binocular vision . They would prefer to think of humanity as cud-chewing herbivores.

It comes back to the politics- in Congress and State Legislature.

If Legislature says "State Game Dept. establish controlled hunt for wolves" the Game Dept will do so.

Plus we must keep pressure on Congress, this isnt a Lib-Conserv issue, and even a liberal congressman, if he is from a rural or partly rural area, will ignore his constituents at his peril, unless he wants to kiss up to the Speaker.

It is the only way to play this game. Or resort to the "3-S" method.
