Default RE: WI hunters kill wolves

wolf population has grown tremendously and have seen zero effect on the deer herd.
Dan,
I am not saying you lieing and I know you believe what you are saying,but I have a hard time buying/understanding that? How can the wolves not affect the deer herds? If that is true, then what the heck are the wolves eating? Here in the west according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife biologists (the quote unquote wolf experts) each wolf kills a elk every week to a week and a half. Of course they kill in packs, but it equals out to that. If no elk are available then there next favorite thing is moose, or cattle, then deer and sheep and so on, but it all equals out to about the same ammount of freshmeat per week.The wolves seem to like to hunt and kill the bigger animals first, but that is not always the case 100% of the time. Anyway WI must have a heck of a deer population for you to not notice the wolves taking there share. Either that or not many wolves are around? Unless they are eating cows, and other farm animals? Don't live there never been (would like to visit) so I don't knowwhich it is, but I do know that the wolves have to be eating something?
