our moose population has gone down ..in the spring the black bears kill and eat the calfs ..in the winter the wolves take they're share also ..what i want to state is if the predators are OVERPOPULATED than the moose population will normaly drop ..i can shoot all the wolves that i see[ with my small game licence $ 17.00] no limit up here in northern quebec .they are also trapped by profesional trappers and still they're population is on the rise ..
way up north were we caribou hunt we have thousands of caribou and not enough hunters .there the wolves keep the herd HEALTHY ..so all in all the wolfs have they're place in nature ..
bottom line is ..wolfs have to be controlled were hunters hunt. ..
