HR845 Passed the House onto the Senate

While Wisconsin is a bluish state, it sounds like both our senators are on board to delist them.

If the opportunity comes to remove a wolf from our Minnesota property, I'd take it. According to monitoring by the Voyageurs Wolf Project and other research in the area, specific packs that have been identified near the property in Tower, MN include:

• Arrowhead Ridge Pack: This pack recently (as of 2025 data) claimed a territory previously held by the Half-Moon Pack and produced pups in a historic den site.
• Half-Moon Pack: A long-time resident pack of the central portion of the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem, though they were ousted from a key territory recently.
• Paradise Pack: This pack expanded its territory and now occupies an area that was previously known as the Huron territory.
• Moonshadow Pack: The Paradise Pack was founded by a male from this original pack.
• Cranberry Pack: A pack operating in the general vicinity of the Paradise and Shoepack territories.
• Shoepack Pack: A neighboring pack to the Cranberry and Nashata packs.
• Nashata Pack: A pack known for having a relatively small territory, often overlapping with neighbors.

My brother-in-laws reports more sightings of wolf than deer in the area, and no deer sightings on the family property.

It is cool that there pack names and data of their territories.

Is there any mapping data available to see those territory extents? I know GIS (geographic information systems) and would be interested creating such a portal for tracking.

My ol boy Blue! It’s my home. Hopefully they’ll bring back the hint as they seem to have overwhelming success the first go around.

There was some mapping at the Voyagers Wolf Project facility in Ely, but it was historic, not current. Sadly, some bad actors use live mapping to poach. We used to be able to monitor tagged bear movement in Missouri, but no more.
