The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) abruptly ended the state’s first wolf hunting season since 2014 on Wednesday after hunters exceeded the quota of wolves they could kill in all six state management zones. .
The Associated Press reported that hunters killed 53 percent more wolves than allowed in the first 72 hours of a week-long season. It was the first wolf hunting season after the previous one President Trump

The Department of Natural Resources said 178 wolves were killed, exceeding the established number of 119 wolves. That number is expected to increase, as hunters have 24 hours to report their deaths.
Wisconsin law requires that wolf hunting be conducted between November and February. The DNR was planning a November season, to give itself time to determine a reasonable death toll and figure out how to bypass an American Indian treaty in the state. But groups of hunters, fearful that the Biden administration would endanger wolves, successfully sued the state for a season before the end of February, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.
Animal rights groups were outraged by the original decision to keep hunting, especially during the wolf mating season.
Hunters could use traps, hunt at night and use dogs to track and kill wolves.
The Center for Biological Diversity called the hunt “a reckless kill” after learning that the quota was exceeded in the first three days, according to The Associated Press.
Those who wanted to hunt said that hunting was necessary because wolves go after their flocks and pets.
