[Hummer]

Any of you Sconnie boys going Monday night to the hearings to vote yes on question 71?

QUESTION 71: Wolf Management
The gray wolf has made a dramatic come back in Wisconsin. Wolves in Wisconsin have recently been taken off the Federal Threatened and Endangered Species List. The wolf population is predicted to continue to increase if no control methods are implemented. Currently there is no public harvest system set up to have sportsman assist in maintaining the population of wolves at the population goals established in the wolf management plan.

Do you favor the Department of Natural Resources, Wisconsin Conservation Congress, and the Wisconsin Legislature develop a season framework and harvest goals to maintain the wolf population within management objectives?
71. Yes _____ No _____

I like how they saved the best question for last!!

Well it looks like now the DNR knows that the general puplic is in favor of a wolf season. 4,848 for and 772 against a season was the results of the spring hearing vote on the issue statewide Monday night.

At least its a step in the right direction!!
