“The total wolf harvest was 53 less than the maximum quota of 200 for the early season, although hunters in the Northeast Zone actually exceeded their quota by three wolves,” via Duluth News Tribune.
The wolf season now enters the phase where trapping is allowed.
“We know that trappers are likely to be more successful than hunters so we expect to see a fair number of wolves taken through trapping,” DNR wildlife population manager Steve Merchant tells the AP.
A majority of wolves killed during this year’s season in Wisconsin were trapped.

Hunter kills wolf near Park Rapids
“A ruffed grouse hunter killed a wolf that he said chased his hunting dog near Park Rapids, Minn.
“‘The dog ran back to the hunter with the wolf on its heels,’ reported state conservation officer Sam Hunter, who said the hunter used a shotgun loaded with birdshot to kill the wolf last week. ‘The hunter shot the wolf at about eight yards as it was coming directly at him and his dog,’” reports Star Tribune.com.
