Wisconsin will have a wolf season in 2021.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced the official season will begin Nov. 6, 2021.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will delist the gray wolf from the endangered species list on Jan. 4. That move returns management to the authority of the lower 48 states and tribes.
When the gray wolf is delisted on the federal level, Wisconsin law says hunting and trapping seasons shall resume.
The most recent monitoring effort indicated a minimum of 1,034 wolves in Wisconsin, primarily across the northern third of the state and the Central Forest region.
