Wolf hunting could return to Minnesota, Wisconsin

Gray wolves in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan could find themselves in the crosshairs of hunters as soon as this fall.

A ruling is expected soon from the same appeals court that recently lifted protections for wolves in Wyoming. Officials say that whether Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan can hold wolf seasons this fall would depend in part on how soon the court rules.

Meanwhile, wolf-hunting supporters in Congress aren't giving up even though a Minnesota representative was instrumental in killing an effort that would have allowed the three Midwest states to resume wolf hunting.

It’s always interesting to find that they pick “a particular point in time and place” for their reconstruction of the past. It’s a phony caricature.

Wolf hunting has already returned to Minnesota. Why, just last winter five Irish guys from Boston were trying to subdue Timberwolves in the Target Center in Minneapolis.

If it comes to Wisconsin, I’m locking up my dog until the season is over.

Sound decision by a responsible pet owner. My neighbor puts an orange blaze vest on his mastiff during deer gun season.

I had an English Mastiff a few years ago. You could easily mistake her for a deer. The color and size are about right. But no rack.

Was here for four years till the federal court blocked it. Dogs are probably at far more risk from the wolves or bear.
