Wisconsin is the only state that reimburses people for dogs killed by wolves while hunting, my colleague Bill Lueders reported this week in this story: State pays scofflaws over hound deaths.
When he scoured the data of those who have received payments, Lueders found people convicted for hunting illegally, out-of-state residents and people who have filed multiple claims (see below). So far, a Minnesotan resident has garnered the most, with four payments totaling more than $10,000.
