This time it's a 5-year-old Walker hound, like this one - -
- - bringing to 17 the number reported to the DNR killed by wolves this year.
Additionally, 14 hounds have been injured in these wolf-dog fights essentially sanctioned by state policy.
Note the reported proximity to another encounter with a wolf which also left a hunting hound dead.
As reported with regularity on this blog, Wisconsin hounders are permitted under a state program unique to our state to let their hunting dogs run off leash, even in known wolf activity areas, and can collect a state payment of up to $2,500 dog injured or killed lost to wolves.
Repeat collectors, even scofflaws, are eligible for the state-provided, only-in-Wisconsin reimbursements.
