A group of snowmobiles encountered a wolf on a trail in Northern Minnesota. It was displaying very abnormal behavior and people should be on the look out.
I still remember the first time I heard a pack of wolves nearby while deer hunting. Growing up this never happened, but now with the wolf population bouncing back, it's a different experience than what it used to be.
Our friends at WDIO reported that the WI State Senate has voted to delay the wolf hunt. But, if you don't read more into the story, you'll lose a lot of information about what is actually going on.
Wolves have been protected recently by the federal government, but that may soon change again. A Republican amendment to strip protection of wolves has been approved by a Senate committee, and now will go to the full senate.
This has been a big debate and it gets people hot under the collar. The gray wolf has been put back on the endangered species list in Great Lakes States after a federal judge ruled Friday that Minnesotans can't kill a wolf unless it threatens their lives directly. This also means that farmers and ranchers worried about wolves preying on cattle can't kill the wolves themselves.
