Some said there should be a 5 year moratorium on not killing wolves to do studies on them......uhm, isn't that what the last 30 years was?
Wisconsin's Governor already signed their wolf hunt into law this year.
Also, by pushing for license increases hunters and fisherman prove they do more for wildlife, wetlands, and the environment than anyone else.

Dayton OKs wolf hunt, license increases
by Stephanie Hemphill, Minnesota Public Radio
May 3, 2012
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Gov. Mark Dayton has signed a game and fish bill that sets up a wolf-hunting season, and raises license fees for the first time in more than a decade.
Both outdoors and environmental groups support raising license fees, but there is disagreement on the wolf hunt. Dayton and outdoor enthusiasts pushed for license fee increases, but the Department of Natural Resources is displeased by a wolf-hunting season that opens at the same time as deer-hunting season. The DNR had asked that wolf hunting and trapping season start late in the year.
Resident deer firearms permits will increase to $30 and a resident fishing license will now be $22. The new fee will be effective March 2013, which the DNR says will be in time to prevent its budget from going into the red. The new fee is the first increase in a decade.
