No one who as actually been in the northwoods and hunted there could possibly believe you could kill 1/3 of the wolf population in 3 days. There are so many millions of empty acres that is a ludicrous claim.

The reality is that WI DNR has been underestimating the true population for years.

The other reality is that a lot of deer hunters and farmers are going to shoot wolves on sight just like they always have, and the law be damned. I have very thankfully not crossed paths with a wolf while hunting my bird dogs so no hard decisions have had to be made on my end. I do know that a good majority of local sportsmen and farmers up north hate wolves with a passion. Seems like a bunch of big city lawyers and enviro whackos think they should have more say than the people that live with wolves every day.
