Um, the wolves are now there because we screwed up and killed them all, and had to repopulate them. The reason the WI deer population is so out of control is because the natural predators aren't there any more.

The wolves are SUPPOSED to eat the elk....they're not there just for hunters to play with.

Maybe hunting with dogs should be limited to bird hunting--might keep the doggies out of harm's way.

There is an article in the Wausau paper today about the wolves. A farmer just shot one because it killed a newborn calf. Some people won't let their kids wander to far from home because the wolves aren't afraid of humans.

I know this is an old thread, but I was doing a search for photos of Green Bay and came upon this and it was interesting so here I am. I've lived here 13 years, transplant from that great city, Chicago, Illinois.

Wisconsin took some getting use to. It was boring at first, compare big city to small city.

But its a great place to plant a family. Its a place where people love the outdoors and believe it or not there is a little more to do than wait for the Packer season to begin.

Green Bay is going through a transition of re-development and downtown kinda sucks right now, not much od a tourist haunt. And unfortunately drinking is a historical monument and gets a lot of attention like "brats."

But if you love the outdoors and like to get around and you're not dampened by gas prices, there is a lot to do.

Visit some of the out of the way places, Like Door County, or the North Woods. In Green Bay there is the Botanical Garden. There are farmer's markets in the Summer and early fall. There are festivals year round.

Call a place called On Broadway for more information about the historical Broadway area which is the original downtown until it merged with the area across the river and formed one city called Green Bay.

My favorite restaurant is called--"FetaZ". Its downtown on Washington Street. Its a small quaint Mediterranean Bistro. They serve the best Gyros I have ever tasted! and the Cajun fries, I could eat them all day! The atmosphere is quiet. But it changes on weekends and lunch time during the week.

You have to dig but there are some really nice places to visit, mainly its still a Packer town and always will be. Sometimes that can be scary. There is so much more they could add to what is good about Green Bay.

Centipedes, I never had a problem with them until I moved into an apartment that is on the ground floor. Funny I haven't seen any garden bugs since I hooked my computer up again.

Brett Farve and the Green Bay Packers are pretty scary!

Deer population up as fines for violating so high or numbers be down again. Elk used to be in Wisconsin also and be nice to have elk in freezer as I cannot afford to hunt out of state.

Saying us that do Search and Rescue with dogs should stay out of the woods also? Bird dogs will get killed as easy as hounds.

So the wolves need to die so people who get stranded can live? Is that what you're saying? How many search and rescue dogs die from wolves each year?

How many wolves stick around when folks are wandering around with their dogs, hunting for birds?

You seem to be reaching, to be honest.

I like the wolves yes,but I also like my deer and coon hunting with hounds and my SAR work. Wolves have there place but let us hunt them also is what I am saying. They have no fear they pack up they will kill anything when hungry.

Not to get off topic, but it might be a while before you can hunt either elk or wolf. The WDNR estimates the wolf population at under 600 for the whole state. Elk is somewhere around 110 in a managed herd (Clam Lake).

To have both animals in such abundance that hunters could cull them each season without risk to the species would be awesome. Here's to the future: may it bear good tidings for both conservationists and hunters, as well as to those who don't find them scary.

I'm with you. I don't have anything against hunting, but there needs to be something to hunt (IE a large population, so there is a much smaller chance of wiping the critters out again). There need to be multiples of thousands before that should occur.
