Wolf Sightings Peak News | September 27, 2022 | 0 | by Morgan McCarthy The DNR says there’s no reason to fear reports of a wolf in Eau Claire County. The state says it got a ‘credible report’ of a large wolf last week. The DNR’s Randy Johnson said it’s not surprising because this is the time of year when wolf sightings peak. He says younger wolves are heading out on their own. He says you’ll want to be a bit more careful with your pets, but he said there’s nothing to fear.
