BROWN COUNTY, Wis (NBC 26) For the first time in several years, Wisconsin hunters are preparing for a wolf hunt. The season begins on Monday the February 22nd and will go through 28th allowing up to 200 animals will be harvested. This hunt comes after the wolf was removed from the federal endangered species list in January.
And while as many as 4,000 hunters prepare for the wolf hunt at the end of the month, the debate continues tonight regarding if the decision was made too quickly.
It was in early January when grey wolves were taken off of the endangered species list, and it was just over a month later that the Natural Resources Board voted unanimously to green light a hunt.
