Yep. Those guys from wisconsin could show them guys from idaho how it's done.
Harvested more than double the quota before they could close it in zones 2 and 6. Do you think that the high hunter success is a result of high populations or a result of wolves not being conditioned to hunting- lack of fear of people?
There are a lot of Wolves! The reason I am so interested is I live about 10 miles from Michigan/Wisconsin border, zone 2 is bordering the area I hunt on the Michigan side. The hunters have 24 hours to report their kills so the number is still going up. I would imagine that most guys are going to wait as long as possible to report their kill to keep the season open as long as possible. Up to 182 now, I hope it keeps climbing.
Sometimes if you catch them perfect, you really should step up the trap size if you are targeting wolves. I use a little smaller trap for coyotes then most of the guys I know and every wolf I've caught has pulled out. I have several buddies that have caught and held them in their coyote traps, they get some neat pictures but then it's a pain to let them out. I caught and held a 100 lb black bear in a coyote trap this past fall so if you get them just right the trap will hold them.
Glad there is finally a season. Wolves need to be managed! I can't believe how the U.S. had "managed" apex predators over the last 25 years. It's insane!
the U.S has done very little in the past 25 years that could be deemed as sane!!!!!!!! I would urge all to leave but it is a worldwide affliction!
Michigan has not been very transparent with their plans either. I think it is funny that all these Democrazies tell us to listen to the science for all of the decisions in our life but when the science says to harvest some wolves they unilaterally block it to appease the environmentalists.
