Wisconsin predator hunters are gearing up for a big 2021 season as the DNR announces Wolf hunting being reintroduced this coming November.
The state of Wisconsin just announced its first wolf season since being sidelined in 2014. This decision for the wolf season, starting this fall, came after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service removed gray wolves from the federal endangered species list on Jan. 4.
The management of this species will now be back in the hands of the state’s authorities.
The details for wolf season are still being lined out. The Wisconsin DNR is reported to consult with the state’s Native American tribes before setting a harvest cap. It is estimated that 1,000 wolves are roaming the wild in Wisconsin.
“It is tremendously important for us to have a good, robust, strong population of wolves, and we know we can do that.” Keith Warnke, the administrator of Fish, Wildlife and Parks Division for the Wisconsin DNR, was quoted saying, “We’ve managed hunting seasons in the past, and we’ve maintained a good, strong population of wolves.”
