WINDOM, Minn. — Denis Quarberg lives in southern Minnesota farm country, a long way from the nearest wolf, but he understands how big an issue wolves are to some northern Minnesota deer hunters.
"I'm still hearing, especially from that northeastern area, from hunters who say they are seeing more wolves than deer up there," Quarberg said. "That's why we support wolf management."
The "we" in this case is the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association, of which Quarberg is the president. MDHA, based in Grand Rapids, is the largest deer hunters group in the state with about 20,000 members spread across 63 local chapters statewide.
