Belle, not to harp on you or anything, but you have no idea about wolves. I live in idaho, and we have a wolf problem. The elk here are not reproucing in the # they should. The cows have all gone into a 3rd estrus, and the bulls are all staying penned up and away. You can't even get close to them. Just last month while bow hunting with friends we had a cow elk, that had been arrowed, lose it's back end to a wolf. What we found was a bloody mess. Wolves slowly kill their prey. Not quickly, but a long and prolonged painful death. They should and need to be removed.

And the effect a "few hundred" wolves have is devestating. Like wolf killer said, hunting couldn't be ended or shortened in the west by these wolves.
