Flood Of Wolf Hunt License Requests In Wisconsin

Close to 5,000 applications have been received in the first few days of eligibility for licenses to hunt wolves in a fast-tracked Wisconsin season beginning this fall during which 201 wolves may be killed, reports The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

That's up up from 3,200 received in the first 48 hours, as was reported by The Wisconsin State Journal.

Not everyone will receive a license, as applications already exceed the maximum allowed.

Because the legislatively-mandated season allows the use of dogs, traps and night-hunting generally avoided in other state's, litigation to block it would not be a surprise.
