DNR to ask NRB for emergency rules for use of dogs in wolf hunt

-- State wildlife officials will ask the Natural Resources Board at its meeting next Wednesday for permission to create emergency regulations on the use of dogs in next month’s wolf hunt

MADISON - State wildlife officials will ask the Natural Resources Board at its meeting next Wednesday for permission to create emergency regulations on the use of dogs in next month’s wolf hunt.

Several humane societies sued the DNR last month, saying the agency’s rules failed to include any restrictions on the use of dogs. They say that could lead to deadly fights between dogs and wolves. The DNR wants to simultaneously work on permanent rules for dogs used in the hunts.

A Dane County judge banned the use of dogs while he considers a permanent ruling on the case.
