New wolf management plan will be implemented if wolves are taken off the federal endangered species list

WISCONSIN - The Wisconsin DNR will work on a new wolf management plan. The current plan was written in 1999, and amended in 2007, but the DNR says it needs to be updated again.

The DNR thinks it's important to review current wolf population goals. The new management plan could change the current 350-wolf target population in the state.

A judge's ruling put wolves back on the federal endangered species list. That means wolf hunting and trapping is off limits, said David MacFarland, Large Carnivore Specialist for the Wisconsin DNR.
