Comparison of updated abundance estimates utilizing modernized home range analysis to the previously reported over-winter wolf range-wide abundance estimates, 2020-2025. Previous estimates include areas of the state with historical observations of wolves under the 2012 wolf harvest zones. Updated estimates are standardized across years for the 2023 wolf management zones 1-5. Point estimates are posterior modes (the most likely value), and error bars represent 95 percent credible limits. Source: DNR (Contributed image)
