MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Permanent rules for future wolf hunts in Wisconsin will be up for a hearing Tuesday at 4 p.m.
The Department of Natural Resources is holding an online public hearing to go over rules that were released last fall. Those proposed rules would get rid of static population number quotas in favor of the more relaxed goal plans that are in place for other hunts, like deer and elk.
The rules would also eliminate an over 20 year old plan that capped the wolf population at 350 animals, require wolves be hunted in specific zones the same way deer are, and require that registrations be completed within 8 hours.
