I opted not to apply for permits as you guys up north need the tags way more. Good luck!

Let's say I put in and get a tag. Then what? I don't assume there are guides like for bear. I would like to try for a wolf but have no clue the next steps....

I'm a little pissed my old preference point didn't transfer over.

Still, in for a preference point.

The bear guides up north know exactly where the likelyhood of finding a wolf pack is, and would gladly help to "harvest" some canus lupus. But whether or not they're equipped and ready to go next week is a different matter. Most of them have other jobs, and this is just another DNR clusterfuck, with the short notice. For one thing, access is going to be very difficult at this time of year, with 16 -24" of snow on the ground. Woods roads in the  big woods / public hunting lands  where wolves roam either aren't plowed, or are now groomed snowmobile trails. Northwoods coyote hunters are used to that, and have adapted.... they use lighter weight, older snowmobiles to access the woods.

If the season was held last week, there wouldn't be many hunters out there. It didn't go above zero in the day light hours for several days in a row, and was -25 or lower at night. It's -25 right now as I type this. On the plus side... it's going to be significantly warmer next week.

If you get a tag, I know a guy to contact in the St. Germain area. He guides hunters in the fall (bear & grouse, both with dogs) and pursues coyotes all winter too.

Mine did?

Attached File

That's weird. I should shoot an email to the DNR and see what's up.

Yeah, I have my points too for wolf.

It looks like i have mine now too. Maybe they just hadn't put it up on the site when i first checked? I donno.

Man either people are really good at killing wolves or there are a fuck ton more than the dnr says.

Both.

or/also they are loosing their fear of man
