Well I guess we will just have to keep on voicing our opinions and see how all this pans out.

One anti group is encouraging their members to apply in order to tie up tags. They have offered financial incentives to do this. Here's a copy of post with name removed: [Linked Image]

I have given the department the benefit of the doubt probably more than I probably should, but do you think it was just coincidence they came out with a plan in December for next November?

IMO, they were forced. The WCC DLC voted on December 3rd to ask the NRB to reconvene wolf committee and get the harvest quotas in place. The Department came out December 4th with their plan for a November hunt. It's unfortunate the WCC took the bait and didn't make the formal request. The season would have been shut down in a bunch of the zones already and all the boxes they wanted checked could have been completed. https://dnr.wi.gov/About/WCC/Documents/Minutes/2020/DLC120320.pdf [Linked Image]

On the personal side, while I am very interested and excited about the prospects of taking a wolf here in Wisconsin, I have made the choice to not apply for this season for a number of reasons. This thing hatched very recently and when I am able to finally take a wolf I want to be able to plan the hunt or trap carefully with a decent amount of time to scout, make contacts, and set up whatever gear I need to take a wolf efficiently. This six day season, which I seriously doubt will happen, seems way too rushed for me to do it the way I want and truly believe it should be done.

I was contacted by a member on this thread who generously offered the potential of putting me on wolves, but in conversation I told him this is most likely not the time for me.

For those that take part in this, I wish you the greatest luck and success, and we're gonna need pictures if you get one. But for me, this is not the time or the way I want to do it.

There are antis in every DNR in the US, to believe otherwise is not being realistic. Eventually they will be the majority.

You do not have to apply for a tag. You can select to purchase a preference point. Which I did. I would suggest anyone wanting to harvest a wolf in the future do the same. For obvious reasons.

Think we should submit for reimbursement if we refuse to hunt and only trap? I think that everyone that only traps should try. LOL

AJE, not sure about WTA, but I know the statewide Trapping Coordinator has been sharing a bunch of videos on wolves and trapping.

I will be interested to see how the rules change since last time. I did notice the highlighted part on the website. I think it is safe to assume they are changing or they would have left the old one up.

2,000 permits with a quota of 200. The quota is the aspect that allows for harvesting even if some want to not utilize their permit. With 1,000 going for preference points that means 1,000 for active harvest or up to 20% potential success rate. Could be optimistic based on short notice and not being able to plan and set aside time but to me does indicate that the science numbers indicate a high enough wolf population that one out of 5 holders could succeed. Also the 1,000 going to preference points indicates to me that they are really quite confident about future seasons. Lets hope this all goes as smoothly as possible and we report all the harvests. We need to establish that sportsmen are willing to report harvests. When one reads the WON we see high levels of non compliance. We need to improve in that area of being honest and trustworthy. Lets also hope that even though success may be less likely that we harvest some wolves in the areas where human interactions by wolves are problematic. That can also include areas where hunting hounds are being killed and injured.

Did they not go with the 4000 permit number recommended by the board?

Does anyone know if you can accumulate more than 3 points? Its been a while but I thought once you got to three, you couldnt get any more.

Diggerman-

Thanks to cwtrapper I applied for Preference Point #4 today! It is actually the 2020-21 season so it looks like we can pick up a point even if we are choosing not to hunt or trap wolves this month.

When I bought mine last night the DNR page said even if you go in on this years drawing and you don't get selected you get your preference point back so no harm no foul

I think folks are confusing things. 50% of the tags are chosen by folks with the most preference points and the other 50% are a random draw from everyone else that puts in for a kill tag. They want to kill 200 wolves and they have a ratio of 20 to 1 for permits so that gets us 4000 permits. The tribes can claim up to 50% of the permits on ceded lands so that means state should issue over 2000 permits. 1000 going to those with most preference points that want a harvest permit and 1000 going to a random draw of folks that put in for kill permit.

Anyone else notice that this thread has almost half a million views and the word game thread with 231 pages only has 81K views makes you wonder who's all reading this...

Wolf season should be a great $ maker for the state.
