UMN experts say wolves are not cause of decrease in deer population
From The Minnesota Daily:
A hunter lobbying group is pushing for gray wolves to be delisted from the Endangered Species Act after a poor deer hunting season, though experts at the University of Minnesota say other factors are to blame.
According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the 2023 deer hunting season saw around 158,600 deer killed by hunters, an 8 percent decrease from the previous season and a 14 percent decrease from the five-year average.
