Wisconsin DNR plans to release wolf comments eventually

Wisconsin wildlife officials aren’t saying when they’ll release hundreds of public comments on their new draft wolf
management plan. Department of Natural Resources officials released their first new wolf management plan in almost 25
years in November. The plan doesn’t include a statewide population goal, recommending instead that the DNR work with local advisory committees on whether local wolf populations should be reduced, kept stable, or allowed to grow. The public comment period was initially slated to end on January 10th, but the DNR extended the deadline to midnight Tuesday. In a follow-up email Tuesday morning, the DNR said they received about 4,000 comments and needs time to put them in a format that is easily accessible online.
