SURVEY: Wolf Dog Spotted Near Dells

MADISON, Wis. -- The Department of Natural Resources said that since June 1 it has halted efforts to trap a wolf or wolf-dog hybrid spotted on a farm east of the Wisconsin Dells.

Officials were intending to euthanize the animal because it attacked at least two animals -- including a pet dog and a Holstein calf.

Efforts to trap the wolf have stopped because it hadn't been seen for two weeks, WISC-TV reported.

The DNR told News 3 on Friday that a wolf was recently shot by a Sauk County turkey hunter who apparently mistook it for a coyote.

The DNR will not confirm whether that wolf is the same one that was spotted near the Dells.

Inquires about the wolf or the DNR's wolf-management policy should be directed to the DNR.
