[QUOTE="CHARLIEDUECE65, post: 592736, member: 15083"] As a fellow Minnesotan, who lives at least a 100 miles further south of swamphuner (Disclaimer: I don't know him :D), I know there are 3 packs of wolves in the area I work. I work as a Police Officer in a rural area that covers 36 square miles. I would not have too much faith in the DNR as to where the wolves are at and their numbers. You need to talk to the local people in the area and find out. I asked a DNR Officer this summer if he knew about the wolves in the area and where they were at. He only said he knew there were wolves around but didn't know where. The local butcher shop had over 300 deer brought in during this years firearms season. I would have to agree if you had 30 deer on one piece of property here in MN, "farmers" would be very upset to say the least. We don't have land barons in MN who own thousands of acres or more. Most farms are probably under 200 acres or less for sure and not in one big chunk of land. I grew up in a farming area and still hunt with my best friend and his dad who farm. That kinda deer numbers probably would be great in a heavily forested area. I have personally seen the wolves and actually have one on in squad video. I have worked in this area for over five years now and this was the first year I have seen them. This wolf was walking out in the open, across a golf course at about 7pm in July of this year .
