I see the DNR is reporting Marinette,Forest and Bayfield Co's have had poisonings. Killing even domestic dogs. Be careful if you take your partner shed hunting. One article said within 30 minutes.
General Hunting Discussion
Poisoning reported Northern Wis
Did they ever say what kind of poison was used or if it was just possibly rancid meat? Just seems weird that it would be over such a wide area. I've heard of cases of people doing similar things but just in a much smaller area.
I'm all for clipping wolves and have no use for the judge shopping that has kept a management plan on the sidelines for years. But killing people's pets and hunting companions is not acceptable collateral damage just to trim back the wolves a bit.
Heard about this several weeks ago from a friend who works with a gentleman who lost one of these dogs . Understand it was a very brutal end to a great hunting companion and family pet. Many of us are dog owners and I could not imagine seeing this happen to one of my pups.. Will see where the investigation leads, but if it was intentional then the person(s) involved should get charged with the max. penalty..
I think it’s plausible to consider that someone is targeting wolves...
Certainly not a whole lot of love for wolves in the Northwoods...
The poisoned meat is being placed in rural areas - so it certainly is a possibility.
