Our lieutenant governor is a member of the wolf clan,..you will not see a season while she remains in office.

We will see where things go when the new WI wolf plan gets finalized. I think that there will be a movement from the feds to the state or states to manage the wolves. The fact that there no longer is a "numerical goal or number" helps turn this from preservation to management. Larger populations won't suffer from extinction and they need more management as human/wolf occurances will be higher and will need addressing. I doubt the harvest levesl or permit numbers will be as high as many hope they would be but a sustained harvest over time say 5-10 years will help get higher accuracy on the actual number, where the depredations are the highest and how best to manage the seasons etc. One thing I do hope they change is to allow leathal dispatch of depredation wolves or packs. Moving proven depredation canines around to other areas just moves a problem wolf to another region..
