Default RE: Wolf population in Idaho

I have a friend in WY who has been hunting or in elk camp since he was a baby(35yrs) his grandfather, great uncles(and their kids), cousins, moms, aunts,ect has been hunting the same place for @50yrs near Jackson hole. I was talking to him the other night and he's talking about cancelling his hunt because the wolves have wiped out the elk. The local herd was gone several years ago, and the last few years the migratory herds are smaller and smaller and fewwer in number every year. They have gotten elk every year so far and figure that they can again this year, buthe just cant stomache killing any more elk in the area. They have been getting two or three bulls a year lately, they used to get 5-10/ year and pass on anything less than 5x5's.they have killed EVERY bull they have seen for three years running and still aren't takeing as many as they did every year for decades before the wolves.
