Bernie do you know if they disposed of the wolves or just move them elsewhere? They may be headed to a certain island in Lake Superior.

Oftentimes state game agencies want to achieve a certain goal within a specified period of time. Usually, trappers are not able to meet the goals..... So the agency does it on their own. That has nothing to do with this particular situation. All wolf hunting and trapping is outlawed by the courts, so the DNR has to hire trappers to come in and do it.

Most likely federal trappers doing that trapping.

I believe that they are all federal trappers. I know a guy that was a MN state wolf trapper, he would get calls to trap nuisance wolves during the time that they were delisted and after the relisting he is not able to trap them anymore, only the feds. That makes sense.

I blame our own DNR as much as I do the Feds. They claim there are roughly 2300-3000, or whatever, wolves in this state. That's the same amount they said there were back in the early 1990's. Anybody, and I mean anybody, that spends any time outdoors knows there are FAR more wolves in this state now than there were in the early 1990's. I rarely saw a wolf track in the 1980's, now I see tracks everywhere I go when hunting, trapping, or even ice fishing. It's an absolute joke. If the state would report the correct amount of wolves, they would be delisted much quicker. Either somebody's lying, or the DNR is totally incompetent when it comes to estimating the actual population. Look how quickly the harvest quota was met the last time we had a season. If they actually think there are only 2500-3000 wolves here, they need to throw out the computers and try another means of estimating the population.. Seems the more they rely on computers the worse our fish and game management becomes. Bears, wolves, Mille Lacs, our DNR has lost a lot of respect by sportsmen, and deservedly so.

I cannot see how you can blame the DNR for the situation.
. They Have a Responsibly to provide the Sportsmen, Public and the Feds As accurate a Count of these Wolves in our State as is Humanly possibly with all the technology at their disposal. To this extent they are inherently at fault for providing false numbers. That's a pretty big responsibility. A lot of fluctuation can occur between spring and fall in population numbers of wolves
