Whether the DNR knows exactly how many wolves are in the UP really doesn't mean much in the overall scheme of things since they can't do anything about the situation unless the courts and politics are taken out of the equation. Maybe Congress will pass that Bill taking the courts out of it in the Great Lakes states and Wyoming like they did in Idaho and Montana. Then if it is up to the DNR here in MI the public can put some pressure on them to get the problem under control. Wolf reduction along with a lot of habitat work is needed to bring the deer population back to any extent IMHO.
