Well I would love to but I can't. We have a one wolf bag limit in the zone I live in and trapping for them is closed. It is a long story but has to do with wolf studies, radio collars and politics.
In any event it was not the wolves that got the deer in the predicament they are in. They take a few but mostly they concentrate on elk and moose.
It was brutally cold, long winters, very late springs and spring blizzards in the recent past and lots of coyotes, which thankfully had a die off this past year due to parvo. Then there is our huge bear population and the boars kill a pile of fawns in the spring, plus our cougars.
With the coyotes knocked back all we need is a break with the winters and things will turn around.
