Most, if not all, U.P. trappers who try to catch coyotes, fox, or bobcat invariably end up catching a wolf because the larger predators are attracted to the same type of sets.
The fact that wolves have become less rare in the U.P. also contributes to incidental catches of the non-target animals. Based on the experience of Wakefield’s John Jakovich, wolves are being caught in traps set for mink, raccoon, and muskrat.
