Correction it's still under the process.....I listen to Wisconsin Public Radio at work it has been a hot topic many times.....WPR Wisconsin Public Radio...."The Lift Protections For Gray Wolves Introduced In US Senate
The legislation to lift federal protections for gray wolves introduced Tuesday comes from senators Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, and senators from Wyoming and Minnesota.
Jan. 18, 2017..............Michigan is applying to lift the ban too i THINK but could be wrong.

Actually Michigan has approved lifting the hunting ban of wolves, but is still 100% illegal to kill them because congress and federal courts say so.
"hunting of wolves, which are included on the federal endangered species list, could resume in Michigan under legislation signed Wednesday by Gov. Rick Snyder, but not until federal wildlife officials say the animals no longer need protection."

I am amazed that wolves are causing so much concern.
We see them quite often while riding. They want to get away from us when we meet.
Check out stats on aggressive wolf interactions with people and domestic animals. It will shock you how low those numbers are compared to the hype.

Creepiest thing is knowing their watching you, but you never saw them.
I was followed on a Mountain bike path. Turned around and took the same path out (sandy trail) and had wolf tracks that followed me in. Kind of makes your hair stand up.

Little Red Riding Hood Syndrom...Don't confuse us with the facts!
Stats or facts are interesting, but when you have to have the DNR at ur house due to daily problems I don't see that as LRRHS. Neighbors dog was killed by a wolf in the fall of 2015 while he was out with it, that is a fact and a stat but I guess they aren't relevant to him. Maybe if he would have read the stats on aggressive wolf interactions his dog would still be alive...lol
I can see you don't live with wolves...they can be a real pita towards pets. To wolves it is a territoral thing when they encounter a dog in the same area. Simple solution to the wolf kill it now while they have the opportunity. Dogs have no chance against a wolf. Explain to your daughter why her sweet puppy is no more just because a wolf saw an opportunty for a snack one day. Wolves will check out man as well and if an aggressive hungry pack look out. Most wolves are well fed in the northwoods but reduce the food source and the wolf will come looking for food opps. The wolf is just doing what they always do hunt to eat very simple.

A record number over 40 bear/hunting dogs have been killed by wolves in 2016 Hunters can receive over $2000 for each dog killed through the state of Wisconsin.

Saw one last weekend on Presque Isle lake. It was dusk and he walked through my yard and across the bay. We see them a few times a year around Presque Isle.

I think it's good that we don't seem them as often as they could be seen if in the open.
Got them here too. A black one was running around our property. Several folks saw it crossing the road a few hundred feet from our house on several occasions this summer.
Live in the sticks, deal with what the sticks tosses at you. When I found out there was one roaming our property, I never left Gracie or the dogs unattended...even in our parking/play area.
To each there own, I guess. I just see it as part of living in the wilderness, or fringes of it anyway. I would rather let nature be nature than me try and be in charge of everything and have everything my way.
I guess to put it in a nutshell...I recognize that I live in an area where wolves live, so I do my best to respect that threat and not dominate it. I am WAY more worried about my dogs running out to the road and getting schmucked by a car than I am them getting attacked by a wolf.

uhm....NO....this is from A LONE WOLFs TRAITS
As an animal, a lone wolf is a wolf that lives independently rather than with others as a member of a pack.
In the animal kingdom, lone wolves are typically older wolves driven from the pack, perhaps by the breeding male, or young adults in search of new territory. Many young wolves between the ages of one to four years old leave their family to search for a pack of their own. This has the effect of preventing inbreeding as there is typically only one breeding pair in a wolf pack. Some wolves will simply remain lone wolves; as such, these lone wolves may be stronger, more aggressive and far more dangerous than the average wolf that is a member of a pack. However, lone wolves have difficulty hunting, as wolves' favorite prey, large ungulates, are onerous for a single wolf to bring down alone. Instead, lone wolves will generally hunt smaller animals and scavenge carrion.[2]
