This is copied from WEAUs (Eau Claire) website about the judges ruling today on wolf hunting with dogs. To bad he won't allow training.




MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A Madison judge has ruled people can hunt wolves with dogs but blocked them from training dogs to go after the animals.

A group of humane societies filed a lawsuit earlier this year alleging the Department of Natural Resources failed to place any real restrictions on how wolf hunters can use dogs. Anderson temporarily banned the use of dogs while he weighed the case.

Anderson ruled Friday the DNR had an obligation to tweak a pre-existing rule that allows people to train dogs on wild animals to address problems that would arise between dogs and wolves. He found the rule is invalid and can't be used to support training on wolves.

But he said the DNR had no duty to impose restrictions on actually hunting wolves with dogs

That sounds like wording to allow misinterpretion... and another words game cops to write tickets. But I could be mistaken.

Make no mistake: this will be the cure for dogs getting killed by wolves and in the future, the most effective way to manage them.

It will be interesting how the strategies behind it will work out and the types of dogs most effective. I really hope someone goes for it and lays the ground work for others.

its about time we can run those bastards!! Kill them all haha
