So you’re saying it’s the state DNR’s decision to not “control” the wolves?
Oh, so they’re not cowards?
What would you consider something constructive that the DNR can do to help hunters? Be more specific than a “little fight”.
You can’t count wolves in the UP any better than you can count deer. That is the problem. Deer hunters complain because that’s what they do. Maybe their pile of corn wasn’t big enough? Maybe snowmobile trails gave wolves an advantage? Maybe the 631 claim is BS matched only by the BS claim that 1,400 is realistic. Who the hell knows? UP wolves don’t eat pine needles, so eventually this problem fixes itself. That’s the argument we deal with in WA.Not involved with the Brock vs New Member shit...

"The DNR last January announced that its annual wolf survey in 2022 showed the Upper Peninsula population holding steady at a minimum number of 631 wolves."
"George Lindquist, a trustee for 25 years with U.P. Whitetails Association of Marquette County, a nonprofit organization that promotes healthy deer populations and habitat."
"The DNR continues to minimize any conflicts with wolves with the information they put out," Lindquist said. "They are trying to paint a picture that the sportsmen don't believe. Everybody up here knows there are more wolves than they say there are — even the biologists will tell you that."
Lindquist said of the actual wolf count in the U.P., "1,400 is a more realistic number."

Reminds me of Idaho before they became serious about counting wolves...
Then Idaho can share their counting method with Michigan. All I can say is there are a ton of deer in the panhandle. Driving at dawn and dusk I see plenty of food for those wolves.Reminds me of Idaho before they became serious about counting wolves...
How about, stop faking the numbers of wolves. I’ve hunted MN and WI for over 55 years, the changes are dramatic. Deer and coyote populations are down, we see wolves pushing further and further south each year as they decimate the northern herds. Stop trying to BS us, we can clearly see what is going on.
Hey, what do you know about wolves or DNR in our area. Aren’t you from ND? You don’t have our issue, why do you even care?
Not for long!

And that is why I have a wolf permit for Idaho this year… their DNR admits there are too many wolves in the Selway Bitteroot area. At least they try to control the numbers! Not like MN, WI, and MI.Reminds me of Idaho before they became serious about counting wolves...
Your comment fits, to a T, my exact experience along hwy 93... Where it's not a matter of "if", it's a matter of when a driver hits a deer...
