An advocacy group for the animal urges the public to speak up on multiple fronts amid concerns about quotas.
The recent wolf hunt, the result of a lawsuit after the animal was taken off the federal endangered species list, drew criticism when hunters far exceeded the established quota. In addition to a long-term plan, the agency wants input for this fall s hunt.
Melissa Smith, executive director of Friends of the Wisconsin Wolf & Wildlife, said anyone concerned also should connect with the agency s Natural Resources Board. It is ultimately the Natural Resource[s] Board that implements policy for the DNR, said Smith. So, the DNR, like we saw in the February hunt, can bring a modest quota number to the NRB Board; they changed it.

Jeff Currie and his wife Ann took advantage of the early snow melt to get a look at the latest progress on the Great Headwaters Trails.
“I must say this is the first time we’ve taken a look at it,” said Jeff. “It’s definitely dramatic.”
They’re exploring the corner of Song Hill Lane and County Highway K, west of Phelps. That’s where the 8.5 mile stretch of trail from Conover ends and the work on the last segment of trail is beginning.
Loggers cleared the trees in a portion of the Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest that will become the last segment of the Conover-Phelps Bike Trail.
