This is great news!!!

Especially in Minnesota where wolves have decimated deer and moose populations. I'm not a kill them all type but they need to be managed to a far lower level than they currently are.

Ironically they claim "climate change" is what's killing the moose but there are so many moose on Isle Royale that they reintroduced wolves to lower their numbers. Is Isle Royale a utopia that is impervious to climate change than?

Ok....what took them so long. Had to wait until they devestated elk populations in the west. Time to 'smoke a pack a day'

Great that they are delisting them, but don't count on our (MN) liberal government to allow a hunting or trapping season any time soon.

At least one year.

Yes. He definitely doesn't like wolves and will probably be first in line to buy tags. I don't blame him at all though, i would be the same way if I lived up there.

A lot more SSS without the fear of a federal charge being attached, that's for sure.

They also claimed that it was a change in Salmon that was being stocked in the rivers out west that made the Grizzly's eat all the Elk and not the Wolves.

I'm not sure delisting them is going to do much good, I'm sure they'll find a way to protect them. I've never been any part of it, but I know here in WI several people have taken wolf "management" into their own hands

Still won’t help MI upper peninsula with a season to get the deer population back up unfortunately

A hunt would help and a lot of SSS, no?


I am. Ot advocating for SSS but know it happens and will certainly happen more if federal penalties are removed.

MN here as well. Damn wolves are wreaking havoc.

A hunt would help but there are too many bleeding hearts in this state for that to happen. I’m from SW Michigan and no experience with the issue in person. I have friends who live in the UP and say that as soon as they see wolf tracks they loose the herd. I’m almost positive that SSS takes place as well not do I advocate for it either.

Hunting and trapping definitely wouldn't hurt. We need to cut down the wolf population by a significant amount.

Our governor will sign a bill that would protect wolves from hunting and trapping if it ever reaches his desk.

I'm one that will apply for a hunt just like I did when we had a season.

I've heard that too.
