Commentary: Michigan DNR needs more accurate assessment of wolf population

Featured, Michigan, Opinion /

The recent release of the 2024 DNR winter wolf population survey results for the Upper Peninsula has sparked significant controversy and concern among wildlife enthusiasts and conservationists.
The survey, which reported a minimum of 762 wolves in the Upper Peninsula, has been met with skepticism due to its methodology and perceived discrepancies with on-the-ground observations. While the survey indicated an increase of 131 animals over the 2022 count, many believe this figure falls short of reflecting the actual wolf population in the area.

Featured, Hunting, Michigan, National Hunting, Opinion /

Commentary: Michigan DNR wolf survey numbers are misleading

Michigan, Opinion /

As members of the Straits Area Sportsmen’s Club, many people have asked us what we thought about the DNR’s recently released 2022 Winter Wolf Survey.
Unfortunately, in our experiences and conversations with men and women who spend a lot of time in the field across the Upper Peninsula, it is tough to believe the DNR report only shows a minimum number of 631 wolves plus or minus 49 across the whole Upper Peninsula.
