Conservation group Hunter Nation, with the help of Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL), filed suit Tuesday, Feb. 2, in Jefferson County against DNR Secretary Preston Cole, the DNR, and Natural Resources Board (NRB) for not putting on a wolf season in January and February.
Luke Hilgemann, of Marshfield, president and CEO of Hunter Nation, said Gov. Tony Evers, Cole, the DNR, and NRB violated 2011’s Act 169 that states the DNR “shall” put on a wolf season any time the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) delists timber wolves.
The USFWS officially delisted wolves once again on Jan. 4.
