Wolves are a keystone species on Isle Royale. But recently in 2026 they have been entering uninhabited tents.  The park staff thankfully has been responding humanely by removing all anthropogenic food sources and asking visitors to do the same. Campgrounds are also being closed.  Hazing (using noise and other harmless repellents) is also used. Thank you for only using humane non lethal ways like attractant removal and hazing to manage human wolf conflicts.

Please do not use lethal methods.  Last year, a 2 year old female wolf was killed after she was approaching people.  She was healthy and didn't hurt anyone.  Staff didn't say if she was shot or leghold trapped and  euthanized.  No camps were closed.

Killing wolves leaves room for more to move in, and does not solve the issue of attractants.  By using non lethal methods, you demonstrate how people and animals can coexist peacefully.  https://www.nps.gov/isro/learn/news/isle-royale-national-park-implements-new-food-storage-guidelines-to-reduce-human-wildlife-interactions.htm
