When asked about the reintroduction of wolves one Oneida County resident did not mince words;
“People with no idea about nature, that have never been in the woods, insisted on releasing these wolves here and now look.” “We have both wolves and our pet dogs both being killed and injured” “When wolves run through our back yards, who is watching out for our children, not the state, not the animal righters, not Fish and Game. Its all on the people that live here.”
Hunters are reminded to use the caution area maps on the DNR website (dnr.wi.gov, keyword “wolf management”) to help reduce conflicts during this year’s bear dog training and hunting season.
