Wolf season update: One hundred and nineteen wolves were registered over the first 14 days of the 2014 Wisconsin wolf hunting and trapping season, according to a DNR report posted Wednesday.
Wolf management zones 3 and 6 are open, the other four have been closed. The statewide quota for the season is 150 wolves.
Although wolf registrations have slowed in the last week, the season is expected to close in the coming days or weeks. The previous two seasons ended in late December.
Agency wildlife officials attribute the higher rate of wolf kills this year to increased hunter and trapper effort over the first two weeks of the season as well as the increased use of traps.
