Some conservationists are calling Wisconsin’s wolf hunt politically motivated and harmful.
A group called “Wisconsin’s Green Fire” says hunters took too many alpha males and bred female wolves, and that could eliminate pup production in 60-percent of Wisconsin’s wolf packs. Green Fire’s report also says the hunt damaged relations with the Ojibwe tribes and exposed a gap between regulators at the Department of Natural Resources and state lawmakers.
Hunters in Wisconsin killed 218 wolves during what turned out to be just a three-day season in February.
