PRESS RELEASE
Applications accepted now for wolf season lottery
ST. PAUL – Rep. Tom Hackbarth, R-Cedar, announces the Minnesota DNR is in the process of accepting applications for the inaugural wolf hunting/trapping season.
Applications will be accepted until Sept. 6 and the season will be split into two parts. An early season – coinciding with the firearms deer season – will begin Nov. 3. A late wolf hunting and trapping season will start Nov. 24.
There will be a total of 6,000 licenses issued, with 3,600 in the early season and 2,400 in the late season. The DNR indicates approximately 3,000 applications have been submitted to date. The target harvest will be 400 wolves for both seasons combined, split equally between the early and the late seasons.
“It is crucial for us to have strong participation, especially this first season,” Hackbarth said. “The information we collect this time around will help us assess how the new system is working so we can identify whether changes are needed for upcoming seasons.”
Applications may be submitted through any DNR license agent, by calling (888) 665-4236 or by visiting www.dnr.state.mn.us. Lottery winners will be notified and licenses will go on sale Oct. 15. Licenses will cost $30 for residents and $250 for non-residents; non-resident licenses exclude trapping and are valid only for hunting.
