bemidjihunter,
You are right on with all of your statements (letting deer rot?Ever watch an episode of Wild America? they chew on the carcass for weeks). Controlling wolf population is ok, elimination is not. I'm sure bears and yotes take as many deer, especially fawn, as wolvesif for no other reasonthan the sheer number of bears and yotes,but there isn't the fear or hatered of those species, probably too many bad horror movies and bedtime stories are stuck in the minds of the uninformed.
Our human population at almost 8 billion, is poised to double by 2050. Wisconsin is poised to go from it's current 5 to almost10 million people. Wolves changing our hunting should be one of the least worries. Birth control should be.

One thing to note, that perhaps by having a season on them, and making wolves a game animal, may help some mouth-breathers see them as a worthy quarry, and therefore something they would like to keep around.
