Hansam, your post actually points out why that price is ridiculous. A wolf is basically a target of opportunity, it's pretty darn hart to "hunt" wolves even out west, much less in the midwest where the properties are chopped up so small. I know for a fact most residents out west simply buy a tag to have in their pocket in case they run into a wolf; very few actually set out to specifically hunt them (some do of course).
Montana put a similarly insane fee on NR wolf tags and guess what...all the locals pleaded for me to shoot them on sight, but of course a $350 lottery ticket or whatever they were charging was insane so I did not go for it. Charge me $20 to have one in my pocket and sure, I'll shoot a predator if I see one. But price it like big game and no one is going to bite.
So you can't eat a wolf...if you want to do anything but bury it it will cost you even more...seems like they simply don't want anyone to buy wolf tags.
