The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty is challenging the Department of Natural Resources in court for failing to hold a wolf hunting season. Anthony LoCoco is presenting the case in Jefferson County on behalf of Hunter Nation, saying the DNR violated state law. He says last year alone, there were more than 80 wolf depredation reports in Wisconsin. “That represents killed or injured pet dogs, hunting dogs, cows, sheep, and other livestock and, you know, we’re currently over three times the goal DNR set for the wolf population in Wisconsin.”
LoCoco says the suit is not about what Wisconsin’s policy towards the gray wolf should be because the Legislature has already addressed the issue by requiring a hunt from November through February when wolves are not endangered.
