Sierra Club submitted a brief supporting the WIDRN's request for a stay of the court ordered wolf hunt. Hunter Nation has until Wednesday to submit a response to the Sierra Club's brief. The appeals court will then consider all information and make a decision (politics driven no doubt) as to whether the lower court had the right to prevent a stay of its decision to force the DNR to manage the wolf population through the use of a mandated by law wolf hunt.
If the WIDNR and their partner Sierra Club prevail, the DNR will get their stay, the wolf hunt for this month will be put on hold and Hunter Nation can appeal to the WI Supreme Court. If the DNR and Sierra Club lose their appeal for a stay, the hunt continues and the WIDNR can then choose to pursue their request for a stay at the Supreme Court level.
Either way, the WIDNR uses Wisconsin sportsman's money against them in this fight and makes additional money in the form of fees from every application for the privilege whether a hunt occurs or not ... win,win for WIDNR.
It isn't just Sierra Club. HSUS & the Center for Biological Diversity were part of the Sierra Clubs brief. It says it on pg 1 of the brief that was used in the filing to the appelate court. Apparently DNR thinks highly of input from HSUS. Maybe anyone can file a brief. The NRB sure has been quiet this week

If this season happens, wardens are going to be brutal IMO. If not sure if legal, I would take the side of caution. Here is one that has potential to trip up folks trapping together. You must be the one to set the trap. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2021/02/full-31911-86645-screenshot_20210219_134518.png)

I have no issue with that 1. Just only tag a wolf that ya trap yourself. That law makes sense to me. You can still have someone else check the trap, but you had better be the 1 doing the setting, touching, shooting, & tagging.

I got my CR's ordered. They are 10' long (that's the max allowed). I didn't ask for them to be 10', but that is the only ones I could find. I wonder if there's any advantage to such a long length
For a 10' CR, does anyone know how far out we need to keep clear to avoid entanglement? I could be wrong, but I think it's a 6' radius for 5' yote CRs.

If your CR is 10 feet long, your area needed to keep free of entanglement will be close to 10 feet. Maybe you would be better off shortening it.

Unless something changed that I’m unaware of.. I’m pretty sure those cables r illegal for Wisconsin, it states: no less than 5’ but no greater than 7’ The wolf law allows 10'. The minimum appears to be 48", not 5'. The ones I ordered are 10', but 6 is an extension cable. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2021/02/full-47451-86675-screenshot_2021_02_17_22_55_31.png)

I just got this update from Skye. I thought I'd pass it along in case anyone is interested. I consider her the CR guru, and her Trap Shack Company is a great company. Ya can't beat great local service: "We are making wolf cables this weekend to meet the new Feb 2021 wolf regs. We are going to sell them in dozens and half dozens. Let me know if you want me to reserve any for you before I post them publicly, since you asked first. They’ll be all the highest level equipment we are legally able to use. Thanks- Skye -- Trap Shack Company https://trapshackcompany.com/"

So I just read a report that as of Friday there were 20,000 applications for tags. I wonder how many of those winners in the draw will actually try and harvest a wolf.

I'll be really curious to see how many apply. A lot are probably just for preference points. The count wil probably climb after todays court ruling.
