Illinois Wolves

FILE - This undated photo provided by Jayne Belsky via the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, is a gray wolf in a wooded area near Wisconsin Dells, Wis. Illinois' own once-thriving wolf population were hunted to extinction by the 1860s. But since the first confirmed sighting in the state in 150 years, in 2002, wolf sightings have gone from rare to regular — with at least five in the last three years. Several Illinois hunters have dealt with legal issues after mistaking wolves for coyotes that can be legally hunted in the state.
