Dont Belive anything people say about wolves not being a problem! Where I hunt in Idaho this is a statistic from inside the Fish and game. In the salmon area Calf Elk survival was 3% so 97% didnt make it this was because of weather, and wolves,and Mainly wolves. little aircraft fly over the salmon river valley all day and in one day over a 5 square mile area 50 diffrentwolves where spotted in a 6 hour period. Now thats a problem!
And this last winter 15 known cases of bear deaths where by wolves during there hybernation period the wolves got hem out of there dens and would eat them while they where still alive. but unable to function.
Belive what you want to belive butwhen I hunt out there and I see wolves going after Deer, bear, or elk you bet your (rear end) its going to die.

RE: wolves in WI starting to be a problem
Dan so you are saying we should wait till it becomes a problem? Fella it already has. My future father in law had a steer half eaten on night, granted it got its head stuck in the feader and hung it self first. But they still came right up in his yard and ate the hinds out of this thing in 1 night. Whats next?

cowboy, I have said it before and will say it again. The situation out West is much different than here in WI. I can see where there is a serious problem out West but not yet here in WI. There is serious need for a Wolf season out there and there will need to be one here soon too.

Fella? I was talking about here in WI, you are in MN. Mn has a wolf population of almost 10x that of WI. MN should have a season. WI is very close to needing one oursleves.
Does that clear it up, fella?[8D]

RE: wolves in WI starting to be a problem
why wait until there is a problem? we need to act on the wolf situation before it becomes a problem!! we dont need wolves in this state at all...but we're stuck with them so we need to manage them

RE: wolves in WI starting to be a problem
And the thing is I know In lower michigan there are supposed to be 0 wolves but I saw what might have been one moving through the woods, or it might have been a world record class coyote. None the less it was huge I wish i could have had a shot at it! it had to weigh 100 lbs or more. and Yes at first when i saw it i thought it was a huskey Dog but the mroe I looked at it i could tell it wasnt.

RE: wolves in WI starting to be a problem
The deer woulda died anyhow since when i saw it the wolf had it by the leg. Later on in the day the wolves woulda got it anyhow. I wish i coulda shot the wolves but its not legal which it should be. So that answers your question cowboy
