Wolf Attacks On The Rise - Time For De-Listing And Pack Control


In WI the wolf population is way beyond what was called for when the wolf was reintroduced into the state.  The DNR's bet guess (which is a minimum) at the wolf population for the 2009-2010 winter season is between 690 - 733 wolves.  This does not include pups or wolves on Indian reservations because (my best guess) pups don't grow up and the wolves on the reservation would never leave.
It is not hard to believe that the depredation of dogs is on a record pace in 2010.  The time for wolf management is at hand and is supported by the Wisconsin Conservation Congress and the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation.
The proposed management plan requires a minimum of 375 wolves in either Zone 1 or Zone 2 for a hunt to occur.......let's get it moving DNR!!
Here is a list of links to help keep you abreast of the wolf situation:
