DNR shoot wolves
« on: March 24, 2011, 01:16:25 PM »
Just caught something on the radio that the DNR in the UP had to shoot two wolves because they were staying too close to a populated area.

I'm surprised they didn't relocate the human populace instead!

I wonder if my house and yard would be considered a "populated area"?

Why would people in "populated areas" (cities, I assume) be entitled to the services of the DNR to eliminate (kill) their perceived wolf problem, while people in rural areas don't get the same services?  I would think a small child snatched from a backyard or a bus stop would be just as tragic in one place as the other.

They cross my south 40 all the time, passing within 200 yards of my house and within 100 of a neighbor across the road and a quarter mile south.  They pass between two houses there about 200 yards apart.  Is this populated??  I ought to call every day and complain and get the neighbors to do the same.  None of us have little kids, but we all have little grandkids and pets and livestock.
I didn't know DNR was allowed to shoot them again.  That is good news.

 I was in the NW U.P. about a year or so ago. The DNR truck went by with a dead wolf in the back. My buddy knows a few of the DNR guys so he calls one up. This particular wolf was killed by a rural farmer who had a permit. The wolf had been hanging around & was to bold, one way or another.
