Lake Nebagamon Pack- Douglas County


On August 28th, Wildlife Services confirmed that wolves depredated a a bear training hound in Douglas County. The depredation occurred in the Town of Solon Springs and was within the Lake Nebagamon Pack's territory. In addition to hound depredations in 2009 and 2010 (see map), this pack also depredated a training hound on August 23rd, less than 3 miles southwest of the current depredation site. This pack was comprised of 9 wolves last winter and likely produced pups this spring. Wolves are currently using rendezvous sites and are highly defensive of both pups and rendezvous sites. Caution is advised to both hunters and dog trainers and, if using the area outlined below, to be aware of the potential conflict between their dogs and wolves. Since two packs appear to be responsible for depredations within this general vicinity, a combined caution area that includes both the Lake Nebagamon and Ox Creek Pack caution areas is again being issued (see the map for August 23 above). The caution area is bounded by Highway 53 to the west; County B to the north; County S, Highway 27, and Connors Meadow Road on the east; and County Y to the south.
