Wisconsin hunters find ways to deal with more wolves on bear bait sites

Anyone who thinks timber wolves only eat sick, lame, and lazy deer, or maybe a dwaddling beaver here and there, may be surprised to learn wolves suffer indignation not one whit from eating stale Wonder Bread, stiff Chip’s Ahoy cookies, moldy Pop Tarts, granola bars, popcorn, dry marshmallows or just about anything a guy might stuff into a bear bait stump.
Bear hunters have known this to be true ever since the state’s wolf population started building in the 1980s. Now that the state’s wolf numbers easily exceed 1,300 animals, bear hunters are feeding as many wolves as they are bears.
