Latest estimate indicates Wisconsin has more than 1,200 timber wolves
Published: , in Outdoor News
Wisconsin’s wolf population is likely as high as it has ever been after roughly 300 breeding females gave birth this past spring, considering the state’s late-winter population estimate is now at 1,200 animals.
Wolf litters average about five or six pups, but past research has shown that more than half of those pups don’t survive their first year. Disease, accidents, starvation and being killed by other wolves or predators are among the mortality factors.
