Has anyone considered the fact the man kills many many more deer than wolves? Maybe, just maybe, years and years of herd control hunts may be having an affect on the herd size. There are places where deer and wolves have been together for 1000's of years and there are still deer there. Do wolves kill deer? yes. do we kill more. yes. If you want more deer stop shooting does. Go to the DNR meetings and tell them enough is enough. If that don't work, quit hunting until the DNR listens. Everyone bitches but there are very few who are willing to do what it takes to fix the problem.
