The grey wolf is still not present across its former range, so unless it's actually over-breeding somewhere and starving for lack of its natural prey, it should remain protected. The idea that citizens are allowed to hunt anything that's not specifically protected, is incredibly bad environmental management: it would make a lot more sense to issue temporary licenses, only for specific areas where a species has over-bred. It would be more of a challenge for one thing (more like a real sport) and by killing one animal you'd have the satisfaction that you're making all other animals of its species a little better off. Well unless their name is Bambi.
What you suggested is basically how the US manages hunting.
I doubt it. There are 50 states, I know that much.
