Outdoor Observations: Wolf tracking survey numbers in from Michigan, camera survey should provide clearer picture

The numbers are in from last winter’s wolf tracking survey in Michigan.
According to the DNR, there was a minimum of 762 adult wolves in 158 packs in the Upper Peninsula last winter, which biologists say points to a stable population. In 2022, the last time wolves were surveyed, the state estimated that there was a minimum of 631 wolves in the U.P.
The state is in the middle of the first year of a new camera survey of the wolf population that should provide a better look at the total wolf population as opposed to a minimum as the tracking surveys provide.
