You sensationalize the wolf issue, it's propoganda as bad as the greenies and does nothing but hurt legitimate efforts and rational efforts to try and lobby for hunting and control of wolf populations. Yes, they are a problem. Yes, they hurt game populations, ranchers, and pet owners. But devil incarnate they are not.
I have hunted and lived in areas with wolves.
"Isle Royale National Park, an island in the middle of a lake" where hunting is not permitted ,so MR.wolf takes care of business ..where i hunt we have 2 seperate packs of wolves and let me tell you the 4 legged poachers are doing a great job at butchering our moose ..but they only hunt moose in the winter because the lakes are frozzen over and they can't get at the beavers [beavers are they're main diet ] in the winter they don,t have a choice kill moose or starve to death ..we had a small deer population where we hunt moose the deer were wiped out completely in the winter of 2007 ..i found the bones in the winter deer yard and saw with my own eyes the damage they did ..
on ANTICOSTY island 125miles long by 25 miles wide we have the biggest deer population in north america ,we also are allowed 2 deer and the deer population never goes down ..THE REASON IS THAT WE HAVE NO WOLVES ON THE ISLAND ...
