I've lived in MN my whole life less the last 2 months. Was in Duluth for nearly the last 20 years. It's to the point if you go driving the more remote roads in northern St. Louis, Lake, and Cook counties in the winter you WILL see wolves nearly every day. Not seeing them is the exception. Summer they're a little tougher to find. As far as the mosquitoes go, I'm sure not going to miss those. Barely tolerable in a dry year and there aren't many dry years.
