State biologists say 62 wolves were taken during the harvest that ran from Nov. 15 to Dec. 15 on Prince of Wales Island — and they're comfortable with that number.
But environmental advocates are worried., one of the groups fighting to list the Alexander Archipelago wolf as endangered.
Trapper Devin Dalin submitted a letter to Ketchikan’s Fish and Game Advisory Committee explaining why he feels that the wolf harvest should be moved to the beginning of March. Dalin was a member of the committee until his term expired this past summer. Trappers also wouldn’t be in the field around the same time as duck or deer hunters. He says a spring season would avoid snaring deer during their critical breeding season.
The Ketchikan advisory committee unanimously chose to support a spring trapping season. But Adkins, from the Center for Biological Diversity, said the idea comes with its own problems.
