RE: Read this about wolves
This myth that wolves only hunt and kill "the old, weak and sick" is just that, a myth. Gray Wolves, or as they call them here in MN, Timber Wolves can and do take down anything from the fawns, does and mature bucks, especially when snows get deep and crusty. In the winters of mid-90's in those conditions they brought the whitetail pop. in NE down to the point you'd rarely see a deer inland away from Lake Superior.
In the past 7-8 years of more moderate winters and snow, deer are showing up again. But it's only a winter or two of those deep snow that make the woods the "killing fields" for the wolves again.
Unlike MT, WY and ID, we've always had wolves here in NE and now most northern MN. But their numbers got so far out of whack (high), when the feds, courts and greenies stuck their noses into it and stop all controls of their population. I hope with recent de-listing that our state can once again maintain a reasonable wolf pop. which will help us avoid the wide swings in deer and moose population we have now, due to the high number of wolves.
