But hey, wolves are easy to bitch about.
I hate to break it to you, but you are wrong. If the wolves haven't affected the elk populations in Montana, grab a set of regulations and see how many late season cow hunts they do in Gardiner Montana now, or better yet, just call an outfitter from there, if there are any left. Northern Idaho is a long way from Yellowstone National Park my friend, but don't worry, after the wolves eat all of my elk, they will come eat yours too.
