Canada........................especially BC and Alberta have tons of elk, moose, sheep etc and lots of wolves too.
Stop sweating the small stuff.
Your compareing apples to oranges BECAUSE of the HUGE difference in the amount of area they (the animials) have to live in.
It's NO "small stuff" when you have to live in an area and see the game population dwindle while the wolf population is explodeing and destroying your hunting area's...

Agreed. The comparison to Canada is ridiclous, not even close to being the same habitat andpopulation dynamics of the US Rockies. Elk populations are indeed dwindling, and biologist are starting to agree that it is happening. Additionally, western prey in the US are not adapted to predation by wolves.
