And that is why the deer population in northern Wisconsin is down.
“...that is why the deer population in northern Wisconsin is down”.........
Exactly “where” is northern Wisconsin? I live in central Wisconsin, the center of the state, my land is adjacent to a large federal wildlife refuge, one of the places wolves were introduced not many years back. Deer where common sightings in the yards and fields, my yard/land included. At times small herds would graze on my lawn, then came the wolves. After a short time the deer have almost completely vanished, but not the wolves. I have seen them walk through my backyard, crossing roads and in fields many times.
I am advised, a single wolf will kill a deer every 17 days for food. Running in packs up to 8-9, do the math, that’s a lot of deer. Wolves don’t kill just for food, ask some of our farmers. I have witnessed evidence of their destruction. I am NOT a fan of wolves. There is a common saying around the area and SSS (Shoot, Shovel and Shut up) fits.
