Wolf management updates
WAC feedback on management objectives and priorities
Wolf education and outreach efforts
🚨 Discussion on elements of future wolf harvest seasons
📣 What to Say in Your Comment
Tell the WAC that Wisconsin’s wolves deserve science-based protection — not another rushed harvest season driven by politics. Remind them of the ongoing federal and state litigation, tribal treaty rights, and the documented failure of past hunts to achieve any legitimate management objectives.
You can also attend the Zoom meeting and register to attend in person. But your written comment — submitted by noon Tuesday, February 24 — ensures your voice is on the record before committee members walk in the door.
Email Danielle.Deming@wisconsin.gov by noon, Tuesday, February 24, 2026.
To register for verbal in-person comment, email the same address by the same deadline.
