The legal wrangling over wolf hunting in Wisconsin is not ending.
A judge in Madison is expected to issue an order later today that blocks this year’s hunt. Advocates and environmentalists have been fighting the hunt since the gray wolf was delisted last year. The judge says he’s stepping in now because the state’s Department of Natural Resources never finalized rules for the hunt. Instead, the judge says, DNR is still working off of an emergency order from 2012.
