Even so, wolves don't always consume an entire carcass, and females and cubs sometimes get the leftovers. In the future, Gunther will study whether sows have more young or begin having cubs at a younger age as a result.
I find it so funny that when we hunters who have been around the wolves and see that they kill for fun. Then leave a carcass untouched, are told either we are liars or that we don't know what were talking about even though we have witness it first hand, because were biased and uneducated. I have been told by pro wolf supports that wolves would never do that and will always pick the bones clean at all times. But yet when the pro wolf people want to make a argument for the wolf bennefitting other animals such a grizzly bear. Then they somewhat admit that wolves will leave a carcass. Come on get the story strait! Thats half of the problem, its just a story on their behalf, a story that can be changed at their will to suit their needs.
CalNewbie, couldn't the drop in success be due to that their were so many elk killed by the wolves the year before? Humm I wonder!!!!! I know that if you go back in time into parts of the Lemhi zone in Idaho where I have hunted. And did this study that you would find a lot less elk kills by wolves now than a few years ago. Why because they have already done the damage! WOW imagine that humm. CalNewbie the more I read your posts the more I realise you belong in Huntington Beach CA with your delusional anti hunter ideas. If you do elk hunt or hunt at all which I am starting to doubt then man you need to wake up and realize the truth.
