As much aerial gunning occurs in our state, I would sure think that we would know of an established pack. Sure a transient shows up for a couple days here and there, but as stated above, you'd have better odds of getting struck by lightning with the winning powerball ticket in your hand than shooting a wolf in SD.

Just about everyone you talk to has a story about their cousin's ex-girlfriend's uncle's stepkid seeing one in the past 5 years. I don't believe a one of them.

I have no intentions of traveling to SD to shoot a wolf, coyotes was what i would go there for. Just saying good for you having a fish and game dept with the stones to allow it.

I also believe in ND you would be a much better chance.

I haven't seen any personally here in Chisago county. You would be a fool not to believe their aren't any here.

We had a film one of our members took in the Rice, MN area a couple years ago.

I trapped beaver in the MilleLacs Wildlife Management area about 10 years ago. Because they only allowed foot travel inside the area, I asked if it was OK to skin the beaver where I caught them and leave the carcass. They said that was fine. There was two wolf packs roaming there and they would clean them up.

Last one I heard of was shot near Parkston , SD in January 2019.

Wolves travel alot

Exactly right

If you don’t have wolves you don’t have a wolf or anti BS to put up with. We do the work to reintroduce the wolves then the slacker antis get involved and screw the hole thing up, no thanks.

Breed populations are on three sides of ND. We have a few caught in coyote traps and snares every year. But when you consider the size of the state and the number of confirmed sightings it is real low odds. They shot a wolverine here a few years ago. But I wouldn't go hunt them in ND. It seems like I read they shot a camel here once too.

Wolverine.....nice
