The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources released a snapshot this week of what the state’s wolf season could look like.
The preliminary rules include a harvest quota of between 142 and 233 wolves and a season that would run from Oct. 15 to the end of February. Areas like northern Douglas County, considered less suitable ranges for wolves, would have higher harvest rates. An application fee would cost $10.
The combined wolf trapping and hunting license fee would be $100 for residents, $500 for non-residents. Wolves could be hunted with firearms, bows and crossbows.
The population of wolves in Wisconsin has grown from 373 in 2004 to an estimated minimum of 815 to 880 wolves over the winter. The DNR’s wolf management plan allows harvesting of wolves if the state population exceeds 350. Click Link Below For Full Story!
