Wisconsin’s dog training season opens July 1 and runs through August 31 leading up to the opening of the 2010 Wisconsin Black Bear Hunting season on September 8th.
Wolves with pups leave the den area where the pups were born and occupy one or more rendezvous sites within the pack territory during summer months. A wolf pack changes rendezvous sites somewhat unpredictably but will defend the current site and pups from any hunting dogs that get too close.
The gray wolf population at the close of last winter is estimated to be more than 700, a 10-percent increase over the prior winter's estimate.
