If the wolves kill the coyotes, and mathematically coyotes kill more deer than wolves, isn't that a net gain in deer??
Read up on famous elk killer Aldo Leopold and his opinion of wolves vs. what he actually found to be true about their effect on the elk. Pretty interesting stuff. Some of his works, especially The Good Oak chapter of Sand County Almanac should be required reading for all hunters safety classes.
