Too much! There shouldn't be a fine for killing a gray wolf. Deer hunting brings in tons of money into the state of Wisconsin every year, and with wolves being more frequently found in wisconsin, deer populations haven't been the same. The WDNR doesn't know how to count deer correctly, so they still for some reason believe that there is this surplus of deer. This surplus of deer does not exist. Now since the wolf population in Wisconsin is increasing by so much, the deer population has decreased tremendously. Just asked any one who hunts up in the northern half of Wisconsin. Kudos to whoever has great success hunting up there. Not saying that hunting in Wisconsin is poor by any means, but it could be so much better. Now going back to how wisconsin receives tons of money from deer hunting permits every year, if there were less wolves, there'd be more deer, and more hunters would pay for permits. Since economics seems to be the focal point of society today, why not help out Wisconsin's economy by downsizing the wolf population? I may not be the smartest guy out there, but I think that anyone with some decent common sense and understanding of whats out there today could see where I'm coming from.
Sorry for rambling there, but shooting a gray wolf illegally can result in a fine of any where from $3,000 to $20,000+ depending whether or not its a mistake and/or if this is a recurring thing for the individual. I know of a guy who got a $3,000 fine for mistaking the wolf for a coyote. If you have intentions to go out and kill wolves though, be prepared to dig deep in the wallet. The WDNR doesn't take "poaching" lightly. Hope that gives you some insight. AND maybe some WDNR officials see this too.
you save the gray wolfs by not killing them.
The gray wolf (timber wolf) is mainly meat. Farmers have been Killing it because they have been hunting their live stock.
