Wisconsin wildlife officials are offering
e-mail alerts on wolf attacks as the state's hunting dog training
season begins.

Dog trainers, pet owners and anyone else interested in tracking
wolf activity can sign up for the alerts on the Department of
Natural Resources' home page. The alerts will notify subscribers of
wolf attacks on hunting dogs and pets, and offer a link to more
details and a caution map based on the attack locations.

Wisconsin's hunting dog training season began Thursday and runs
through Aug. 31, about a week before the bear hunting season
begins.

DNR biologists warn wolf packs may have several rendezvous sites
during the summer and will defend them against hunting dogs that
get too close.
