[QUOTE="Swamphunter, post: 590770, member: 39441"] Well I didn't see any page numbers on that article, but at the bottom it showed three different maps with squares dots etc and where we hunt is well in the wolf areas. 3000 of them by their count. We think there are more because they said there are 3000 ten years ago. But will go with "their" official number. The map I showed is the proposed management zone where the wolf kill (if successfully delisted) will be managed. And while I am not sure I believe anything outside that zone will have no management tag attached, whether that means any wolf can be killed outside that zone I don't know. Deer hunt numbers have been about the same for the last several years. Moslty because we have had mild winters. The DNR claims that wolves take 18 to 20 deer per year. That would equate to 60000. I have no way to confirm nor dispute that number. Wolves also eat beavers, coyotes, moose, cows, sheep, turkeys and on and on, whatever they can catch. I know that we have some farmers in the area that have taken matters into their own hands due to the fiasco it has been to get the wolves off the endangered and more recently threatened list. I just saw that they are to be returned to state control this week, so that will hopefully mean a hunting season on them. At any rate this doesn't change my opinion that we not wipe them out. They can be controlled. [/QUOTE]
