Dan so you are saying we should wait till it becomes a problem? Fella it already has. My future father in law had a steer half eaten on night, granted it got its head stuck in the feader and hung it self first. But they still came right up in his yard and ate the hinds out of this thing in 1 night. Whats next?

Dont Belive anything people say about wolves not being a problem! Where I hunt in Idaho this is a statistic from inside the Fish and game. In the salmon area Calf Elk survival was 3% so 97% didnt make it this was because of weather, and wolves,and Mainly wolves. little aircraft fly over the salmon river valley all day and in one day over a 5 square mile area 50 diffrentwolves where spotted in a 6 hour period. Now thats a problem!
And this last winter 15 known cases of bear deaths where by wolves during there hybernation period the wolves got hem out of there dens and would eat them while they where still alive. but unable to function.
Belive what you want to belive butwhen I hunt out there and I see wolves going after Deer, bear, or elk you bet your (rear end) its going to die.
cowboy, I have said it before and will say it again. The situation out West is much different than here in WI. I can see where there is a serious problem out West but not yet here in WI. There is serious need for a Wolf season out there and there will need to be one here soon too.
