BAYFIELD COUNTY - Two hunting dogs were attacked by wolves in Bayfield County.  According to DNR officials, on July 3, two separate incidents occurred involving wolf attacks on trailing hounds. In Bayfield, officials confirmed that a Bluetick Trailing Hound was killed by wolves. In a separate wolf attack in Washburn, a Walker Trailing Hound was injured.  Officials want to remind dog owners to use increased caution when in areas with wolves.  The DNR creates “Wolf Caution Areas” when wolves attack dogs who are hunting or training on public land.  The two Bayfield County dog attack locations are on the list of Wolf Caution Areas with a 3rd in Clark County.
