       The hunting of wolves has now become a national debate. We have also expanded our scope to include some articles on "hounding" in general, and in other states. Due to the number of excellent articles and reports we have listed, we have had to create a second page for all of the links! This page contains links from 2012 - 2014. Please see WI Wolf Hunt In the Media, P. 1 (2015- 2016) for earlier articles.

 

 

Excerpt from Dave Olson's Blog:

"Bird Dogs" like this guy could be put in danger by the use of wolf traps and wolves themselves       "At the post hunt discussion over some Leinenkugels . . . I asked [other hunters] what they thought about wolf traps set up to lure canines, wolves, coyotes, (bird dogs?), and if they knew how to get their dog out of a wolf trap. This brought some hemming and hawing but the real thought provoker was wolves chased and hunted by dogs that would become conditioned to think that dogs were their enemies. Since the bear and wanna be wolf hunters that use dogs claim that success rate on either species with dogs is very low it would seem that most of the time the wolves would be chased by dogs and escape. This conditioning, in my opinion, would not be good news for Springer, Labs, Goldens, and even trusty American Water Spaniels that were out hunting for grouse, pheasant, and woodcock. I'm not sure any consensus was reached or that any minds were changed on the issue but thought was indeed provoked. Hunters love their bird dogs.

        ". . . True fair chase and tradition have had a place in the Wisconsin hunting community for decades and have been passed down through families and hunting camps over the years and it needs to stay that way.

       ". . . I'm not against shooting a few wolves but let's give them a bit of a chance. Read the technique for hunting wolves with dogs that a proponent of the activity outlines in this Wisconsin State Journal article. Put the gps collars on the dogs, split up with your ATV's or 4WD pickups, and when the dog chases the wolf to the guys who raced ahead they shoot it. A guy might not even need to wear boots if you could shoot the wolf from the pickup bed when it crossed a road. I didn't make this crap up, read the article. Its an interesting headline by the way since DNR has already closed two zones and 90 out of 116 remaining wolves available for the quota have been killed. So I guess you really don't need dogs to hunt wolves after all. Or at least evidence, a little utilized resource in this whole controversy, would seem to indicate that.

     ". . . Let's rethink the wolf hunting regulations, base them on some sort of science and evidence, and keep the dogs flushing grouse and retrieving the mallards and bluebills. It's Wisconsin hunting tradition."
