Millagerobert,
Don't think I' pro-wolf, but your hypothisis is based on wolves only eating elk and nothing else. I'm no wolf expert, but one would think they would eat whatever they can catch and kill, which would include other prey, e.g. rabbits, deer, dogs, etc...
Bugs.
Don't think wolves only kill to eat! They kill for fun as much or more than they do to eat! Elk and deer kills are found daily, that were just killed and not eaten.
