Regardless of where the photos are from, wolves are that big and do pose a threat if not controlled. Very fortunate here that wolves and coyotes are legally treated the same in our manage unit... no restrictions, as to seasons or numbers harvested.

Thanks fellas I had no idea wolves were this much of an issue. I posted this as I thought those wolves were a fake job. Here in MO we do not have wolves and I did not know what their sizes are. I was hoping the guys up north would chime in and well you guys have provided a lot of information I had no idea existed. I hope everyone is contacting their state DNR and congress reps about this issue as wolves can wipe out everything in their path.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A northern Idaho lawmaker says the state should not punish people who kill federally protected gray wolves.
Republican Rep. Phil Hart unveiled legislation Friday to prohibit the state from investigating, arresting or prosecuting any person who kills a gray wolf in Idaho. The bill would also prohibit state employees from helping federal agencies arrest or prosecute someone who kills a wolf.
Those who punish, or help punish, people who kill wolves face a $500 civil penalty under the measure.
Wolves in the Northern Rockies are listed as endangered under court order, but state and federal officials have been looking for ways to curb their population.

Governor encourages Montanan's to shoot wolves north of interstate. Not sure I would want to hitch my liberty on Brian but it is the latest salvo.
Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer says the state will defy federal protections for gray wolves and kill packs that have been hurting elk herds.
Schweitzer also told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he is encouraging livestock owners north of Interstate 90 to shoot wolves that harass their animals. He says state game wardens would stop investigating wolf shootings in that part of the state.
Livestock owners in southern Montana already have authority to shoot wolves that harass their animals.
The Democratic governor says he is fed up with years of litigation that have kept wolves on the endangered species list even as their population has grown to more than 1,700 across the Northern Rockies.

There should be a hunting season(limit the tags*) like other game animal.
And while on the subject of delisting, states that have Grizzly bears should have a season*, they don't fear humans and in some elk country, a gun shot is like a dinner bell for them.

Wisconsin DNR Says Wolves Killing More Dogs and Livestock !
2/16/2011
The state Department of Natural Resources says wolves are causing more problems for Wisconsinites.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The state Department of Natural Resources says wolves are causing more problems for Wisconsinites.
A new report says wolves attacked animals on 47 farms last year compared to 28 farms in 2009. Twelve of those attacks were in Douglas County with 16 other northern Wisconsin counties reporting problems.
Wolves killed 34 dogs, 47 calves, 16 cows and six sheep in 2010. The DNR estimates the wolves cost farms a total of $114,000.
The agency's wolf expert, Adrian Wydeven, tells the Duluth News Tribune that the increase in attacks is because wolves are moving into new areas and because state officials have few options to kill wolves, which are protected under the federal Endangered Species Act.
