Benishek To Propose New Wolf Hunting Bill

Legislation to negate a federal judge’s ruling that prevents wolf hunting in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota is expected to be introduced in the U.S. House this month.

The measure will be co=sponsored by Congressman Dan Benishek, Reid Ribble of Wisconsin and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming.

Benishek says it will allow the states to again manage the wolf population including hunting and trapping.

The legislation would allow the western Great Lakes states to do their own management of wolves.
