Why do you think they are "mismanaged" ?? What are your qualifications to make that judgement ? interesting and a good question!

You were thinking you could catch one? I absolutely guarantee I can snare one. I will also guarantee that you, and many other trappers from MN could easily snare one.

Maybe the DNR has different plans for the wolves that brings more money to them than trapper fees. Some of you guys want to trap them just to make a video and post it on your website so YOU can make money on it and get views. Hey don’t forget to buy that trail camera from my sponsors!

Sometimes what you "hear" and what is the truth are vastly different. 15 wolves trapped on 600 acres. Uff da. I'm sure the DNR has a phone one could call to talk to someone who actually knows about those numbers. I'm sure MN,WI and MI all have similar censusing methods. Why would MN not report what they actually thought was their best guesstimate? They have a professional reputation to protect. The guys in the coffee shop do not. Ole. What are we seeing currently in the highest levels of the FBI... Organizational Reputation means nothing compared to personal agenda. Our head of the bear research department who many of us have dealt with has made it pretty clear he is against bear hunting. Bear licenses keep dropping in availability while bear numbers are crazy hi and they are expanding state wide and out of state. Wolves, no different. Keeping number counts low and truth away from the public keeps the all important wolf research business and its experts a whole lot busier than those who manage other species with the help of controlled seasons and hunters and trappers.

The DNR would like to offer a hunting and trapping season but it was taken away by the courts. Wolves are not currently being managed at all in the state of minnesota, except when nuisance complaints come in, they send out a government trapper to catch a bunch of them. We are paying to have around 250 wolves per year killed, when hunters and trappers would pay for the privilege. The DNR knows that, they would prefer to have the income of course, but they cannot because the antis are abusing the Endangered species act in court to prevent any management of wolves.

Thought you guys were pro voice your opinion...freedom of speech...all about your amendments. I guess only if you agree with what the other is saying. Kind of a Liberal way I guess. I’ll tag you guys next year once I catch a wolf, prob will be a Minnesota Wolf too!

Why would MN not report what they actually thought was their best guesstimate? They have a professional reputation to protect. The guys in the coffee shop do not. Well I heard it from the landowner himself, you think he wouldn't know about the numbers? He has more than a dozen trail cameras out and is still getting pics of one big male and one pup. I know of one other case in which a gov. trapper caught 8 wolves in two days all within sight of each other. This guys owns 600 acres but I seriously doubt if they needed all 600 to trap 15 wolves. You just need to have a basic understanding of wolves, their interactions and their packs.

So how are you going to pick out which non Government trappers to do the job? Are these non Government trappers qualified to do the job? In my opinion the best way to handle these wolf problems Is with someone that Is qualified to do It and has the governments backing. Until this wolf protection thing goes away It seems to me this Is the way It should be handled.
sounds like good old Bernie Is wanting the job.
