Minnesota Announces First Ever Wolf Hunt 
After the worst 2011 gun deer hunt in Minnesota history, pressure was on the Minnesota Dept of Natural Resources to allow hunting for the spreading population of wolf packs. One wolf pack was documented in Hinckley, Minnesota with 24 individuals, thought to be two packs that merged. The DNR estimated that 8000 wolves possibly roam Minnesota as far south as 40 miles south of the Twin Cities. Suburban Parks such as Lebanon Hills has had many sightings and people fear to bring their dogs for walks.
The first hunt will start in November 2012 with a lottery that results in 400 tags.
While several western states have allowed hunts in 2011, Minnesota is the first state east of Montana to announce a hunt.
Hunters who have seen more and more wolves push deer out of traditional high deer habitats believe that the DNR guess of 8000 is very low.
