Looks like everyone who applied is getting their $10 back and points will revert back to pre-2021 fall application numbers.

DNR To Refund $10 Application Fee For
2021 Fall Wolf Harvest Permit Or Preference Point


Dear Hunter/Trapper,

Thank you for your interest in the Fall 2021 Wolf Harvest Season. Our records indicate that you submitted an application for a wolf harvest permit or preference point between March 1, 2021 and Aug. 1, 2021.

Following a federal court ruling on Feb. 10, wolves in the lower 48 states were returned to the Federal Endangered Species List. (The ruling excludes wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains region.) Under Wisconsin law, if the wolf is listed on the federal endangered list, the state is not authorized to implement a wolf harvest season.

As a result of this change, the Wisconsin DNR will be refunding your $10 application fee and updating your wolf preference point record to reflect its pre-Fall 2021 application status. Your $10 refund check will be mailed to the address on file in your Go Wild account as of Feb. 24, 2022. You may update your address at this time. Otherwise, there is no additional action required from you.

Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery of your refund check.

Other immediate implications of this ruling include the following:

Permits allowing lethal removal of wolves issued to landowners experiencing wolf conflicts are no longer valid. The department has contacted permit holders directly.
The department is not authorized to use lethal control as part of its conflict management program. Non-lethal tools remain available.
The training of dogs to track and trail wolves is not allowed. Dog hunters may no longer pursue wolves for training purposes.
The DNR remains committed to assisting individuals that experience conflicts with wolves through an interagency cooperative agreement with USDA-Wildlife Services for abatement and control.

If you suspect wolves in the depredation of livestock, pets or hunting dogs, or if wolves are exhibiting threatening or dangerous behavior, contact USDA-Wildlife Services staff immediately. If in northern Wisconsin, call 1-800-228-1368 or 715-369-5221; if in southern Wisconsin, call 1-800-433-0663 or 920-324-4514.

I would rather have kept the Point, in case we have a future season.

My guess is with the re-listing, the state can't keep the money. Surely it would've been easier to just let everyone keep points and not have to send thousands of checks out. Just gotta wait for another judge to make a different ruling now.

I guess so.
The waiting game starts again.
Frustration has set in again. It's too bad, seeing as how much Wi wolves are in need of control

I guess I would like the point too, but I have a feeling there will never be a season. Maybe the check is best.

If the indians have their way, there'll never be a season:

We’ve seen this before, and I’ll pray for it to become law. We have a lot of snow in the Yoop this year, and our deer are getting slaughtered.

Good news, but what a poorly written "news" article.
First, the title is misleading as it is Federal legislation that would apply more broadly than Wisconsin.
Second, where did this come from? "California recently restored the endangered species protection for the gray wolf in 48 states, not including Alaska and Hawaii."
The state of California can't restore anything in 48 states.
A Federal judge in California did restore endangered species status in the Midwest, but not in 48 states.
Doesn't take much to be a journalist these days.

This legislation would have a better chance of passing if MN and Michigan Senators were on board. I wonder where Amy and Tina are on this?

No.

Her position on wolves sure surprises me, given her extreme liberal views.

We could use governors on board too. At least our 2 Senators are on board with this. I think its the 1st time I've seen Johnson & Tammy agree on something.

Did you watch any of the virtual meetings on the wolves? The dnr secretary would just sit there all defiant and grumpy that the board held power over him.

I sure hope we get another season. I hate to think of all the $ I spent preparing for wolf trapping. At least the traps can be used for other critters..the cable restraints are useless without a wolf season.

I haven't heard anything on wolves lately in Wi. Too bad. A season is needed but I don't know of anyone optimistic.

Aren't they protected again nationwide minus the Rocky Mountain population thanks to some judge? Or have we moved past that?
