Bear Hound killed in Iron County 10/1/14
On October 1, Wildlife Services confirmed that wolves killed a 3 year old Walker bear hound and injured a 10 year old Plott bear hound. The hounds were released for hunting in Michigan but crossed the border into Wisconsin where the attack occurred. The attack occurred in the Town of Kimball, Iron County. More information and a caution area map are available on the gray wolf webpage.
Hunters are reminded to use the caution area maps on the DNR website (dnr.wi.gov, keyword "wolf management") to help reduce conflicts during this year's bear dog training and hunting season.
