The board received a letter from the Republicans on Jan. 15 saying wolves need to be hunted now before the Biden administration places them back on the federal endangered species list.
The Trump administration removed wolves from the list this past fall and the DNR had planned to resume its wolf season this coming November.
Wisconsin law calls for annual hunting and trapping seasons to resume if the wolf lost federal protection.
