I heard it was signed yesterday.
Other than the legislature deciding To buck the DNR, and run the opener of the wolf season in conjunction with the deer hunting season I didn't hear any other details. Did they pull their head out and decide to sell more licenses???

Here is the info: DNR outlines wolf season details -- a two part hunt and trapMinnesota’s first regulated wolf hunting and trapping season will
be conducted this fall and winter. The DNR is proposing to split the
season into two parts: an early wolf hunting season coinciding with
firearms deer hunting; and a late wolf hunting and trapping season after
the firearms deer season for those with a specific interest in wolf
hunting and trapping. The early hunting only season will be open only in the northern
portions of Minnesota where rifles are allowed for deer hunting. It will
start on Saturday, Nov. 3, the opening day of firearms deer hunting. It
will close either at the end of the respective firearms seasons in the
two northern deer zones (Nov. 18 in Zone 1 or Nov. 11 in Zone 2), or
when a registered target harvest quota of 200 is reached, whichever
comes sooner. According to Wildlife Program manager Steve Merchant, wolf kills must be registered almost immediately after taken. “Persons will have to register the wolves that they take by the end
of the day following the day of harvest. We will have a mechanism that
will keep track of those registrations. It’s an electronic system where
people can register their wolves by either taking them in to an ELS
agent or use the telephone or online. As those people register those
animals, it’s reported and communicated to us, so that’s how we will
know.” The late hunting and trapping season will begin Saturday, Nov. 24. It
will close Jan. 6, 2013, or when a registered total target harvest
quota of 400 in both seasons combined is reached, whichever comes
sooner. The late season will be open statewide. A total of 6,000 licenses will be offered, with 3,600 available in
the early season and 2,400 in the late season. The target harvest quota
will be 400 wolves for both seasons combined, and will initially be
allocated equally between the early and the late seasons.
Tribal government may elect to hold their own wolf seasons, and Merchant said the DNR is consulting with them. “We’re having continued conversation with tribes. I am unaware at
this time of any tribes who have elected to hunt wolves, but they
certainly may.” Wolf hunting licenses will be $30 for residents and $250 for
nonresidents. Wolf trapping licenses will be $30 and limited to
residents only. A lottery will be held to select license recipients. The
bag limit is one wolf per licensee. |

I believe the term you are looking for is "Jackpine Savages". At least that's what we call ourselves. Even living near the twin cities doesn't wash that away from you, but then I've never tried to cleanse my self of it either. |

DNR announces wolf season details
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has finalized
rules for Minnesota’s first regulated wolf hunting and trapping season
this fall and winter.
There are several changes to what the DNR originally proposed in May
as a result of input received since the proposal was announced. The hunt
start date remains the same -- Saturday, Nov. 3.
“We changed the closing date for the late season from Jan. 6, 2013,
to Jan. 31,” said Steve Merchant, DNR wildlife program manager. “We also
tightened the wolf harvest registration requirement so we can more
quickly close a zone based on harvest results.”
Another notable change is that the wolf range will be divided into
three zones for the purposes of harvest targets, registration and season
closure.
The northeast zone and the east-central zone closely parallel the
1854 and 1837 treaty ceded territory boundaries. These zones will allow
the state to allocate and manage wolf harvest in consultation with
Indian bands that have off-reservation hunting rights.
The northwest zone will be the other area open to wolf hunting. When
harvest targets are reached in any zone, that zone will be closed and
hunters will be able to continue to hunt in any other open zone.
The season will be split into two parts: an early wolf hunting season
coinciding with firearms deer hunting; and a late wolf hunting and
trapping season after the firearms deer season. Trapping will begin Nov.
24. The target harvest remains 400.
Merchant said the public comment period that ended June 20 was
helpful. The DNR received 7,351 online survey responses. He said of
those who approved of the season, 82 percent said they supported the
proposed structure. However, the DNR reported earlier at the close of
the comment period, that about 5,800 respondents did not approve of a
wolf hunt season at all.
