In biology is called the "conservation of energy." It takes a ton of energy to take down a deer(usually), and wolves won't waste that energy for "sport." The only time a situation like that may come up is when they are teaching pups to hunt, which isn't often. If they make a kill, it's because they need to eat, and they will eat it.
I for one have seen deer wasted and rotting because of the wolf. Would it be safe to say, as a (biologist) that pups are born each year? So if that is true, Then every litter needs to learn how to practice ( as you say )thekill! So there will be hundreds of wasted deer to teach the pups from the litters each year. What you saymay be true in minnesota.Maybe the wolves here have not evolved as fast as Minnesota wolves. The wolves here kill anything that they come in contact with and have stalked humans as well. Many houndsmen have wittnessed the wolves going out of their way to kill bear dogs. Many of residents have wittnessed their dog or cattle come up missing. They can practice killing in Minnesota just keep them there.
