2nd Dog Killed, Oconto County


From the WDNR web site

Peshtigo Brook Pack, Oconto County
On August 2nd, Wildlife Services confirmed that the Peshtigo Brook Pack was responsible for killing a bear hound while training on Oconto County lands. Killed was a 5-6 year old male Walker. This pack also injured another hound in February approximately 0.5 miles north of the current depredation. This pack established in the winter of 2008, and contained 4 wolves in the winter of 2009. They likely produced pups this spring. The caution area includes Parkway Road on the east, County Highway W along the north, Riverside, Bachman, Old 64, & Twin Pines Roads on the west, and Highway 64 along the south side. Hunters are urged to exercise great caution if they intend to use this area and should use the caution area map below to help reduce conflicts during this year's bear dog training season.
