There were some questions tossed arround to some un-named wolf experts here in wi.It gave me a little insight as to where we are in getting a wolf seasion in my lifetime.Id say 10 yrs.till wolf seasion.The usda will be able to shoot trouble wolves in the spring though.
But lets get the term wolf correct.Thats 100% wolf.The experts tell me that a wolf wont go into the city.And i cant own a wolf as a pet.Hes gotta have some dog in him.You may not be able to tell without a dna test.so the only way to tell on the trail,is by the way he acts.What it came down to was pretty much anything below hwy 64 must be a mix.And realy isnt a wolf at all.Now,The only one who can shoot a dog on your fields is a game warden,by law anyway.But the way im understanding it,most of what we have arround here in central WI. is 80 pound wolf hybreds,and there not endangered or threatened.Im not saying open seasion,Imjust giving you some food for thaught.
Do you have any references for what you're saying? I ask because here USDA Wildlife Services has always been able to kill problem wolves, as well as landowners who witness a wolf attacking thier livestock (the 10j rule).
So what you're saying may be true in WI but not in the western states so could you post your source?
Also with the hybrid thing: yesa CO can kill a dog that is harrassing livestock or wildlife, it doesn't matter whether it's a hybrid or a dog, or a wolf for that matter. They are considered "dogs at large" in most states and can be shot.
