The recent release of the 2024 DNR winter wolf population survey results for the Upper Peninsula has sparked significant controversy and concern among wildlife enthusiasts and conservationists.
The survey, which reported a minimum of 762 wolves in the Upper Peninsula, has been met with skepticism due to its methodology and perceived discrepancies with on-the-ground observations. While the survey indicated an increase of 131 animals over the 2022 count, many believe this figure falls short of reflecting the actual wolf population in the area.
