First of all.....elk and deer are here for all to enjoy..not just for "sport hunters" as some of you refer too.

here in Wyoming sportsman foot the bill for wildlife thru license fees and the sporting equiptment they buy there is no public tax, no state funds, etc. there fore sportsman and landowners have the biggest say in what, where, when, how, and why they enjoy them.
This coming from a diehard hunter, but a fan of all wildlife. Read the true hisory about wolves killing humans................very very few wolves have ever taken a human life. I think what it boils down to is a few do not want to share the earth. It smells of greed
your correct there are very few human wolf conflicts
however there are plenty of wolf pet conflicts and way to many wolf livestock conflicts
