Wolves killed four hunting dogs in Wisconsin over the weekend, including one in Douglas County, and one hunting dog Monday. The depredations came a week after the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources issued a reminder to hunters to exercise caution during this year’s bear training and hunting season.

The depredations came a week after the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources issued a reminder to hunters to exercise caution during this year’s bear training and hunting season.
Wolves have killed 17 dogs this year in Wisconsin, according to the DNR website — all but one of them hunting dogs.
Caution areas have been set up with buffer zones around each of the depredation sites. The maps are available at dnr.wi.gov, by typing keyword “wolf management.” The affected areas include portions of Douglas, Bayfield, Ashland, Iron, Rusk, Sawyer, Florence Forest and Lincoln counties.
In addition a number of livestock depredations have been confirmed in Bayfield, Price and Polk counties, according to the DNR website.
