I was watching the news this morning and the WDNR has reported that 9 wolves have been shot by WI hunters during the deer season. Any feelings on this? I have heard a rumor and I say rumor that there were a breading pair released not 5 miles from my hunting land during the gun season. I hope it is a rumor but then again I wonder if I would even notice?

I saw two wolves during bow season while hunting with a friend on his land. They are pretty rare here in Oklahoma, but they were definately wolves.I don't know what I would have done if they would have gotten real close, but I don't know that I would have killed one, since they are on the endangered species list.

Like on SouthPark... "He's comin' right for us!!!"

Talk to any hunters where the wolves have taken a foothold, & they will tell u that the deer pop. is definetly affected by them. I personnally think it was a mistake reintroducing them. They are predators & have no enemies except humans. They will continually grow in numbers. There even is talk now of a season for them out west.Wyoming is tryingto get wolves delistedoff the endangered list.What purposedo they serve? I've also heard ofanimals killed by wolves for the sake of the kill.Not for food. In Wi. we have enough to deal w/ the constantlychanging multiple area regulations & CWD, let alone the wolf problem. Any one up north have a run in or deer hunting dexrease due to them?

We have a pack of wolves that roams our hunting land. My brothers has watched them hunt as a pack out in some tall grass by his stand once. ( kinda cool to watch) I think it was 5 but I would have to ask him again how many there were. The only way they have affected out hunting is now we have a hard time letting a deer lay over night if it is a marginal shot. Even if it is the right thing to do. Here is what they did to my brothers buck he shot this year. It was a low shot, probably one lung, so we let him lay over night.

Looks like the deer was dead when they found it since the neck isn't chomped on.

SOMEONE NEEDS to do it.... Wether it be the DNR, or the hunters.
