EDITED: Recently, we have received an alarming influx of reports and emails regarding dangerous incidents where wolves have targeted pets and livestock. Thankfully, we have not received any reports of humans being attacked. However, it is crucial for all our followers to be aware of their rights to protect themselves. We strongly urge you to exercise these rights and keep your loved ones safe. Our data suggests that these attacks are on the rise, making vigilance more important than ever.

When we first created this website and social media pages, we anticipated that it would ignite controversy and face criticism. The issue at hand, concerning the wolves in Minnesota, has long been a subject of debate. On one side, we have the hunters, and on the other side, the animal rights activists. This age-old conflict has been ongoing since I can recall, and those of us who grew up hunting and trapping have always been portrayed as monsters by organizations like PETA. We understood that they simply didn't grasp our perspective, possibly because they hailed from distant cities where hunting was not ingrained in the culture. Considering their well-known positions, we could somewhat comprehend their attacks.

As hunters, it's natural to care about the management of the wildlife in our states. But when it comes to controversial issues, like the management of wolves in Minnesota, there's often a lot of finger-pointing and blame instead of constructive action. Some hunting organizations will spend more time complaining and blaming than they will working towards a solution that benefits everyone. It’s important to be leery of those who only complain and blame, and why working together is the only way to achieve meaningful Wolf Management in Minnesota.

Deer and wolf populations vary throughout Minnesota.  What people experience in one area of Minnesota may be completely different than what others experience elsewhere. 

I’ll stick to the facts related to my experiences with Minnesota wolves and deer at our Northern Minnesota hunting cabin.    

The expanding wolf population poses challenges for deer hunters, as declining deer numbers and harvests become apparent. Wolves consume a significant number of adult-sized deer annually, impacting overall deer populations.
