That is 38,500 elk per year out of our area, that sounds like a issue that needs to addressed to me. We need to be hunting and controlling these wolves. They have no natural predators here. You guys in Canada have a season for wolves, thus solving your wolf issues. Also look at the size of Canada and the population versus here in northern Idaho, the wolves are not only causeing a conflict with the wildlife, they are also killing a great amount of livestock and family pets.
