A fifth bear hunting dog is killed by a pack of wolves

The DNR says another bear hunting dog has been killed after it was attacked by wolves in Clark County.

Ed Culhane of the DNR says the hound was killed in Levis Township south of Neillsville on Saturday.

Culhane says the Brushy Ridge wolf pack is believed responsible for the two and a half year old hound’s death.

This is the fifth dog killed by wolves in Clark County this year, and the 11th hunting hound killed in the state.

Wisconsin’s Wildlife Services says since wolves are an endangered species, there is very little the state can do about the attacks.
