DNR spokeswoman Ann Wilson said this time of year is when younger wolves are dispersed into areas away from packs, forced out by alpha males or females.

It's a rite of passage, dictated by nature. Just keep your dachsunds and toddlers out of the way.

Roell said the DNR was unaware of any wolf packs located close to the big lots and family homes along Miller Road, located just east of Munising.

Since wolves are known to travel over 30 mi/day in search of food, this seems to be a silly statement

"It's a rite of passage, dictated by nature. Just keep your dachsunds and toddlers out of the way."

To hell with the Wolve's "rites". My kids and my dogs have "rights" also. The first "right" is the right to safety when they're on my private property.

We're in a crisis up here, though it may seem to be unimportant to the ignorant Urbanites in Lansing. I have a serious concern about the safety of toddlers being safe in their own backyards.

These wolves learned early on (during the early 20th century) to avoid humans like the plague for one simple reason: they were shot on sight. They are not being shot on sight now, and they have become emboldened.

I seriously hope that the first parents who lose a child to a wolf get rich on a lawsuit filed against the State of Michigan for negligence in administering their department.

Our ancestors eradicated wolves for a damn good reason; they cannot co-exist with humans to a reasonable degree.

I love Michigan's outdoors, and I am a conservationist, but the wolves are out of control and need to be dealt with.
