Just got in from pigeon hunting with the kids in the backyard (they got a couple unsuccessful shots off), found two sets wolf tracks 70 yards from the house.
There’s lots of coyotes around, but this is the first wolf sign I’ve seen on our land this winter.
Sucks and explains why there’s a lack of deer…We only have a few deer in the neighborhood, well at least we “did”.

You could set up a trail camera back there and see if one shows up. Would be cool to get one on there (plus whatever other critters are around).
They must be Wisconsin Wolves because we all know there are no Wolves in Minnesota.
Wolves and deer have live together forever. There’s nothing to worry about unless you have a dog.

yea, the deer try to live and the wolves will eat deer

That’s what a lot of people say that don’t have wolves in their yard.
I’m far more worried about our small deer population than my dog.
Shoot me your address Crawdaddy and I’ll drop some big coyotes off for you, hope you’re not a deer hunter.
Not a wolf B. Grouse was just out walking his new pet.
Something new for the boys to trap B. 
I am definitely not a wolf lover…by no means however I am always curious about all the wolves and no deer. Well the wolves have to eat something and if there are no deer then what do they eat? I believe that the deer are still there however they have switched their tactics to avoid the wolves, say deeper in the swamps. The deer are no longer are in the area’s that they once were. I am certainly not an expert but would welcome some more insight on this. Thanks
Wolves can be 20 miles away in a day according to what i was told by APHIS Feb 2 this year 2500 dollars to fix him ! Im sick of it !

Voyageurs national park’s wolf project has shown them eating a lot of beaver and fish up there where the deer numbers have dropped substantially in the last 10-15 years.
From my experience up there, and in Aitkin county, the deer stay close to people, yards and roads to avoid the wolves, not go deeper into the swamps.
They eat what’s available and move on, that’s why they claim large territories. If there’s too many competing packs in one area they’ll find a new area or starve to death.
A wolf took a woman’s dog in their backyard when she was just a few feet away from her. Woodruff Wi.
There are too many and are loosing the fear of man. They are moving closer to many towns because of urban wildlife=food source.
When WI reintroduced wolves there was only enough habitat for 350 wolves. Now the DNR basically claims the whole state is wolf habitat. Now we have 1200 wolves and it still is not enough.
And how many deer get killed by cars? winter? I do believe their should be a wolf management program, but many reasons for the lack of deer

the wolves native to the area were the gray wolf, the ones they imported to the area are the Canadian timber wolf , the apex predator and a completely different animal then what was native here, they are a invasive specie in my book.
It sucks B-man! We had one in the backyard yesterday – about 20 yds from the back door – it just stood there as my boy came up the sidewalk. When he got within 20 yds, it trotted off. We have too many of them around here, and the deer population is a fraction of what it was a few yrs ago. Its pathetic. I know a lot of guys that have shot them, and I have thanked every one, every time!
