eports of several sightings of two wolves in Custer County are being investigated, according to John Kanta, regional wildlife manager for the Game, Fish and Parks (GP&P) Department, Rapid City.
Kanta told members of Custer’s Rotary Club last Monday noon that he has asked state trapper Jack Alexander to verify if the wolves are here in the county. They have been reported to be seen west of Wind Cave National Park and south of Pringle.
“When we get a male and female you’ll know it. There will be lots of pups around,” Kanta said.
“The department says we’re not going to manage wolves in South Dakota. We’ll have to figure how to provide assistance to land owners if there are any problems,” he said.
“In the northwest area of the state there are lots of sheep. That could be a problem,” Kanta said.
