The Lac du Flambeau and Sokaogon Chippewa are among six tribes who have filed a lawsuit against the state of Wisconsin, claiming the state’s planned Fall wolf hunt violates the tribes treaty rights. The DNR’s policy board recently approved a 300-wolf quota for the November hunt. The hunt is required by state law. The quota is more than double the recommendation of the DNR. Historically, the tribes have claimed their quota, but allowed their share to go unharvested. This new lawsuit accompanies an existing challenge by Earthjustice to the previous administration’s decision to remove wolves from the Endangered Species Act.
