Assembly Bill 687 aims to amend the current wolf management regulations in Wisconsin by requiring the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to establish a statewide wolf population goal as part of its management plan. The bill specifies that if wolves are not listed as endangered at the federal or state level, the DNR is responsible for allowing and regulating the hunting and trapping of wolves.

The proposed changes include the insertion of new language that mandates the DNR to implement a wolf management plan that includes this statewide population goal. Additionally, the bill modifies existing language by removing the conjunction "and" and adding a comma to clarify the DNR's responsibilities in regulating wolf hunting and trapping. This legislative effort reflects a commitment to managing the wolf population effectively while ensuring sustainable hunting practices.
