todayDecember 5, 2014

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin wildlife officials say they’re going end the 2014-15 wolf hunt on Friday.  The Department of Natural Resources has already closed four of the state’s six wolf hunting zones. The agency announced Thursday it will close the last two zones on Friday.  According to agency data, hunters had taken 151 wolves as of Thursday, one more than the statewide quota. They could take even more animals before the zones close on Friday. According to state law, the DNR must give the public 24 hours’ notice of zone closures.  A DNR spokesman had no immediate comment why the agency didn’t close the two zones sooner to ensure hunters didn’t exceed the quota.
