As you may have read in the Center’s press release, we euthanized Boltz at approximately 7 a.m. on Nov. 12, 2020. His condition really declined in the last week, not only physically, but behaviorally. While the lack of mobility and swaying of his back legs didn’t seem to elicit a pain response, he began […]
After Denali’s retirement on October 16th, Axel and Grayson needed some time to adjust to the change. I made the decision to retire Denali based on his advanced age needing some time to recuperate from a paw wound.

The sunsets as of late have been incredible, with the sun hitting and highlighting the remaining leaves of Fall. The […]
Wolf Recolonization in Wisconsin by Adrian P. Wydeven, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Updated September 2000 Although population numbers at the time of settlement in Wisconsin are impossible to determine, a reasonable estimate might be between 3,000 and 5,000 wolves, if density of one wolf per 10-20 square miles occurred. This is indicative of densities found in […]
