The wolf population in Michigan is out of control and needs to be regulated. Until now the DNR could not regulate it, because it was a Federal issue. Hopefully the DNR will allow some hunting to bring the numbers down to a level that will be suitable for the UP. Right now we have 687 wolves and it was said the UP could only support 300. We have a moose population that should be the point of hunting but isn’t because of the predation. I know it isn’t all the wolf killing the moose, but it is a big factor. I have talked to several people that hunt in the UP and there are places there aren’t deer anymore because of the wolf. A wolf eats one deer a week and with 687 of them they eat 35,724 deer a year. They also eat other game as well. Should they be in the UP? I was not for it, but they are there now and they must be regulated.

“It it rightfully the state’s responsibility and authority to manage wildlife within its boundaries.” As long as we don’t show we are incompetent at it, which I hope does prove to be the case.

Don’t be a coward. People afraid of all uncertainty in life make me sick. You have a gun and are able to hunt animals with absolute power and no fair chance left to the animal (I hunt as well, but I acknowledge it’s just targeted killing, sport). Don’t be afraid of a wolf. It’s a damn dog. Seriously. Lions and tigers and bears are beautiful animals, alluring parts of life. Not something to be afraid of.

Finally some common sense may enter into the management plans
