1,160 Wolf Hunting Licenses Awarded
The Department of Natural Resources has sent notification to the successful people from the pool of more than 20,000 applicants for the first Wisconsin wolf hunt in modern history.
The state has sent notifications out to the 1,160 successful applicants for the state's first wolf hunting and trapping license.
Materials were mailed late Thursday, and the Department of Natural Resources has rolled out a feature in the Online Licensing Center where the 20,272 applicants can search to see if they were successful in receiving a wolf license. People awarded the licenses must still purchase it.
The hunt begins Oct. 15.
