Wisconsin had our first wolf hunt last year and it is the same as Minnesota. Issue a bunch of tags and stop the hunt when the quota is filled. It is the states way of making sure the number of wolves they want shot each year actually gets killed. If you just issued the number of tags exactly the same number as number of wolves you wanted killed they would never reach their goal of wolves killed since many hunters or trappers wil be unsuccessful in their attemp to kill one. It also is a built in protection device for accounting for the anti's who apply and get drawn with no intention of ever hunting them but instead "just saving one wolves life". I really don't see a problem with how the system works. Worked good in Wisconsin last year and they raised the number to be killed here this year from 117 last year to 251 this year. My wife and I actually both drew tags so we are looking forward to the challenge of trying to get a couple this year. Oh and Jason non-residents are eligible to apply for tags. Deadline every year is August 1st

[QUOTE="clamriver, post: 76347, member: 115"] Wisconsin had our first wolf hunt last year and it is the same as Minnesota. Issue a bunch of tags and stop the hunt when the quota is filled. It is the states way of making sure the number of wolves they want shot each year actually gets killed. If you just issued the number of tags exactly the same number as number of wolves you wanted killed they would never reach their goal of wolves killed since many hunters or trappers wil be unsuccessful in their attemp to kill one. It also is a built in protection device for accounting for the anti's who apply and get drawn with no intention of ever hunting them but instead "just saving one wolves life". I really don't see a problem with how the system works. Worked good in Wisconsin last year and they raised the number to be killed here this year from 117 last year to 251 this year.
