Ok, what the hell are they thinking? That's right they don't, but they don't want to kill animals, but would about all the animals the wolves kill! We will never understand those zipperheads! It would be a bad deal if I ever stubbled across one of them.

There are a couple really bad things about these appeals. One is that these groups get millions of dollars to line their own pockets with from all the grannolas out in grannollaville! The second is that if they win an appeal the law allows them to go back and recover all the money they spent on lawyers, etc. from us, the taxpayers. Yes, that's right! We then pay them for being able to screw us, LOL! It's an absolute farce that needs to be completely taken out of the hands of the courts or this will go on forever.

Wisconsin's Wolf season is set-up into zones. I live in zone 2, where this year the quota was 15 wolves. DNR sends out a notice that the season will close usually within 24 hours when the quota get's to 13 or 14. Season opened on 10/15 notice went out on the 16th that it will close on the 17th at noon. By noon on the 17th the quota was exceeded by 17 for a total of 29. Looking at the total's this tells me that WI has some damn good trappers or the DNR'S population estimate on wolves in this zone is a little low?

How did this year's 9 day rifle deer hunt go me in this zone? 8 day's, 71 hour's, 1 deer sighted, buck only unit, I'm not a beginner, thankfully he had antler's!

They are ok with wolves killing other animals because that is "natural and the poor wolves have familys to feed too". They just dont want us "blood thirsty hunters" killing them or anything else. In reality these socalled "conservation groups" see wolves as a giant cash cow and are milking it for all its worth while our wildlife is destroyed by wolves.....

Here's what is on the DNR website!

I guess you can't really read it, but only if human life is threatened and by the feds can they be killed! HAHA.that's funny!
Well then, If a guy "Lives to Hunt" and the wolves are eating what he hunts, he can then shoot said varmints.

If I were king, I'd make every wolf and grizzly lover sit and watch videos of what those predators do to Bambi (it's not pretty) and remind them that they hunt year 'round with no bag limit. And, they multiply. That's the ultimate poaching problem. Talk about the endangered species list.

With last years horrible winter conditions and this year starting off pretty rough, plus the wolves, coyotes, bobcats, bears the deer population in the UP is headed for disaster. This years deer harvest was anemic at best. It will not be long before the wolves really start to take a toll on pets and livestock. A fellow who works for me lost a couple calves last spring so the DNR purchased him a donkey to protect his cattle. Also know of a couple of hound hunters who have lost dogs. It is time to pull our heads out of our &*&^*
