Wolves Rampant in Wisconsin Ranges Alarm Helpless Farmers
The St Louis Globe Democrat reports widespread wolf depredations across northern Wisconsin. Gray timber wolves multiply in Bayfield Washburn and Douglas counties, preying on cattle sheep and hogs while seeking fresh meat. Hunters note their cunning and small pack behavior, making trapping or shooting slow work. Incidents include a hunter held by wolves and a woman forced to shelter in a tree near Spooner. Deep snows reduce boldness, but wolves’ numbers appear to rise.
