Have a very good relationship with Officers and Biologist in the state of Michigan in the Eastern UP....we have needed and should have had a yearly wolf harvest for the past 10 years.....the problem is people that live below the Bridge they don't have any knowledge or any of the wolf population and how it effects wildlife....I have seen what has happen and in the past 5 years the road to the very low populations or even elimination of all wildlife in the areas occupied by wolfs....
I went and sold my hunting house and land in the Eastern UP 330 acres that locked out anybody from 16 sq miles of 2 rivers and forest that you could find deer tracks on all of it with moose, bears, deer, grouse in abundance 10-15 years ago....now deer tracks are only found on about 60 acres around the house.....
Up until 2 years ago wolf tracks would be only seen January - March now it is easier to find wolf tracks than deer tracks year round....wolfs are seen within 100 ft. of the house year round and are a threat to any living animal .....
