I think we would all be better off waiting till Nov 4th to start hunting and trapping.

I live right in the heavy wolf population area. I don’t have any preference points and I think I would have a hard time drawing a permit next fall if they have a season then. I am going to put in for this short season knowing my odds of connecting will be lower than if I was trapping them next fall but at least I might get a chance harvest one.

I think your odds will be pretty much the same. The chest freezers will open up a few wolves will be killed by either hunting or trapping. The quota will be either filled or reduced so next Nov the season will still only be about 5 days long.
How long did the last wolf season last. Marshrat should be able to dig up that information.

Well the coyote trapping season ended on the 15th. So If they have wolf trapping and hunting season your going to have to release any incidental coyotes. Just another reason to wait till next Nov.

As much as I would love to trap and keep a wolf, I am not going after them for a week in Feb.

wolf harvestDepended on zone. Some took a couple days and others took over a month. Not really a true comparison. I would look at success rate for late season bobcat hunters since methods have a better chance of being similar.

I think they updated gowild at midnight. Showing I still have a preference point so I didn't draw.

Perhaps one of you can explain to me? Why is the WDNR opposed and filed a lawsuit to stop this season? What is the reasoning.
Remember it wasn't the rank and file members of the department that was opposed to holding a season. It was Tony Evers administration that was opposed so it came down through DNR Secretary's office. The only wolf they want killed are by the feds in depredation claims. And that is only because public opinion is so overwhelming.
