Dog owners are reminded to exercise caution in wolf-occupied areas, especially those using their dogs to hunt. Conflicts between hunting dogs and wolves are common during the bear training and hunting season. Dogs have also been depredated while pursuing other wildlife, including foxes, coyotes, bobcats, rabbits, snowshoe hares and upland birds.
