They are killing and eating machines. How much meat can 1000 wolves eat? Any idea? I don't either, but that is the last count on number of wolves in Wy,Mt,Id. 5 pounds a day? thats 5000 pounds each day or about 8 elk. 365 days a year, well over 2000 elk each year, not to mention how many are killed and not eaten. I see no good coming from introduced wolves. Just less hunting opportunities and less chance of filling my freezer.
