Minnesota, and Michigan are on the radar as WOLF reintroduction areas.....in fact I believe Minn. already has a few breeding pairs...

This is a Wisconsin Wolfs article.

If you are talking about the timber wolf, Minnesota is not on a reintroduction list. We've always had them and there are a lot of them. I've seen them ice fishing, had them wander around on the inland lake where I have property, and even had one follow me when I was on snowshoes. There are far more than breeding pairs, there are many bona fide packs. There are not difficult to track as they run the hardened snowmobile trails in the winter in pursuit of moose. As far as Michigan is concerned, I am not sure. Northern Wisconsin has had several self-perpetuating packs for years also.

Actually, the wolves are already in Michigan's U.P. . I've seen a couple of them loping around ( One while driving east of the Seney ).

Not only that, but panthers have been sighted, although the DNR keeps denying their existance. I'm waiting for for the first fisherman to get mauled by one of those non-existant panthers.
