The total harvest exceeded the quota by 99. Basically the concern is that the wolf hunt had killed so many wolves and we still knew that poaching was also increased, Adrian Treves said. We wanted to let the agency know that there are additional wolves they are not aware of.
Treves is a professor of Environmental Studies at UW-Madison. He authored the paper along with UW-Madison Post-doctorate researcher Francisco J. Santiago-Ávila and doctoral candidate Karann Putrevu.
The team of three said they were inspired to take a look at Wisconsin s wolf numbers after the February hunt and to re-evaluate the impact of no longer protecting a species.
