The discussion of a hunting season will begin in earnest Wednesday morning with a legislative hearing on a Republican plan to allow public hunting and trapping of wolves in Wisconsin. Among those who will testify Wednesday (this) morning is Tim Van Deelen, a UW-Madison wildlife ecologist who has studied wolf populations. Van Deelen said Tuesday that, while he believes the state?s packs can probably sustain some level of public hunting, the impact of killing any percentage of a recovering wolf population has been little studied.
