DNR: U.P. wolf population likely at ‘carrying capacity’
From WoodTV8:
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The latest survey from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources estimates that the state’s wolf population is the highest it has been since the start of its semiannual surveys.
The 2024 winter wolf population survey estimates at least 762 wolves across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, up from 631 in 2022 and fairly consistent with the estimates over the last several years.
“This year’s survey findings are statistically consistent with our wolf population surveys for the past 14 years,” DNR large carnivore specialist Brian Roell said in a statement.
