As we reported back in September, Chase Melton, 19, was duck hunting along with two friends, aged 13 and 14, when a group of wolves appeared and began to harass the group. Not knowing what to make of the situation, Melton held strong until one of the wolves got so close that he didn’t have much of a choice but to pull the trigger. A witness, who was hunting about 300 feet away from the group of young boys, was able to corroborate their story, stating that he reportedly saw five wolves surrounding the blind and another four wolves in the nearby vicinity. Following the killing, Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources began an investigation into the incident to corroborate the boy's story… READ FULL STORY The forum Know It All according to Muskrat

State should have to pay his legal costs if any Not like he went out looking for a wolf to shoot, should have shot every (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) one of them if they were threatening humans

I'm guessing they had to examine and reflect on the political ramifications after the first eight hours of deliberations.
