Why would they go farther than they had too? As far as I'm concerned any impact on the deer herd is more than I care for. The only benefit I've seen listed to the wolf is it attacks coyotes. What happens when it's done with those? Wolves kill coyotes. Coyotes=dogs. Wolves kill dogs. Do you have any idea how many dog lovers there are? Forget about the deer. Should people be forced to live with a threat to what they consider a family member?
I've read enough history, both local and world, with no intension of learning about the wolf, that detailed mans struggles with the wolf to know I don't care to live with them. Interestingly enough that same history predicts that man one day will be the dinner of not just the wolf but all predators, so the current love affair that some have for them is no surprise to me. They have to get there some how, if things are to be as thought to be.
An interesting observation. People often resemble the dog/cannine they love, in looks and characteristics.
Here's another. The American natives attacked the settlers in the night. What were they resembling when they did? What gave them the idea?
Speechless...pass me what you're smokin'...cuz you in the spirit world bro
I would have thought that being such an authority on the wolf you would haveat least read some of the history of them, not some feel good, new age phylosphy created in you when you were a baby watching Disney shows.
Just wondering if you could enlighten us for our education how big the wolf packs were during the first1000 years ad. in Europe?Some of the hunts that took place were amazing.
Care to smoke some history?
Start reading. I've been at it for years. Did you know that Ohio my home was once considered the wild west. It's history is well documented. The struggels the settlers had with many predators are documented in what was once a well use 2 volume set written and rewritten by a man named Henry Howe. He travel all 88 counties. The first addition was in the mid 1800's, the second in the end. Large volumes which would take sometime to read.
Much can be found on the net.
The feast spoken of is a spiritual thing found in the bible, another history book. Read that one 7 times straight through in 3 years. What I've read there and in history books goes along with what many have said and experienced.

How is it that you presume so much of what I do or do not know and how much I read or don't read? The fact that you read one book written by one man regarding one state is supposed to "wow" me? [
] Sure the early settlershad problems...they were "settling" wild country...hence the term settle or calm. I hope you have realized that we are not them and now is not then and the comparison is apples and oranges. In the big picture...which is bigger than your ability to desperately search out irrelavent and disregarded articles supportive of your archaic beliefs on the internet...there are far more scientific conclusions and findings as to the benefits to the overall ecosystem of a wild population of wolves. From flora to fauna they are beneficial...that is the big picture which is averse to your rather myopic tunnel vision view of the villianous evil wolf. Need I post links to articles and studies?
