    Wolf lottery applications due Sept. 6

    Applications for Minnesota’s first-ever regulated wolf hunting and trapping season are being taken now through Thursday, Sept. 6, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

    Individuals may apply for only one license from three available options:

    Early season hunting, which runs from Nov. 3 through Nov.18 in all Series 100 areas and Nov. 3 through Nov. 11 in Series 200 areas located within the northwest wolf hunting zone.

    Late season hunting, which runs from Nov. 24 through Jan. 31, 2013, in all three wolf zones.

    Late season trapping, which runs from Nov. 24 through Jan. 31, 2013, in all three wolf zones.

    Target harvests have been established in each of the state’s three wolf hunting zones. If a target harvest is achieved, hunting and trapping will be closed in that zone. The statewide target harvest is 400 wolves, which includes all three wolf zones.

    The lottery will award 3,600 licenses during the early season and 2,400 during the late season, at least 600 of which will be for trapping. Application can be made at any DNR license agent, via telephone at 888-665-4236 or online at License . There is a $4 application fee. All applicants must show proof of a current or previous hunting license.

    Lottery winners will be notified. Licenses will go on sale by Monday, Oct. 15. Wolf licenses cost $30 for residents and $250 for nonresidents.

    The statewide bag limit is one wolf.

    Lottery winners will receive a wolf hunting booklet with their notification. Additional information about wolves is available online at Wolf Info

    In the application process, it asks to pick a season. Does anyone have clear definition if season B is firearm vs. trapping license?

    This would be fun but don’t see them around here and no place to hunt any where else.

    When applying you have to state if you want a season B trapping lic or a season B firearm lic. You cannot use both methods in any season.

    Got my application in today as well.

    If drawn, my plans are to hunt the late season up in the BWCA with my father, as we applied together as a group.

    The odds of taking one of these beasts are very slim but it would be one heck of an experience to give it a try!

    I can’t decide between early or late for the NW zone. I was thinking I would apply for the early and my son for the late to cover our bases. If he would get drawn I quess that would mean a muzzleloader trip for me while he wolf hunts.
