The northern counties would have the highest percentage of wolf kills and then any wooded counties. The more a county has Ag the lower the percentage of wolf kill.
It would be very similar to Wisconsin.

Those numbers are a joke. When I bait for bear in Bayfield county, I had 14 different baits with single wolves on them. Also the study that came up with the 20 deer per wolf was done out west. It wasn't deer but 18 to 20 elk per wolf. In my estimation it would take 3 to 4 deer to provide what 1 elk provide. So figure 60 to 80 deer per wolf. Also the packs they say average 4 per pack, it is more like 5 to 8 per pack. When they do the population estimates, they check for tracks on plowed roads. The friken wolves are concentrated where the deer yards are, not on the plowed roads.

With the combo of wolves and every hunter trying to get any deer that moves... Zone 1 does not have a good future, unless they cut the tags/seasons.
