Sort of reminds me of a bumper sticker in Alaska........

Eat more moose.... 12,000 wolves can't be wrong.

I attended a Big Game Forever banquet about a month ago in Cody. The statistics that were presented were absolutely staggering concerning wolves and their effect on big game.

Here is an example.

Wolves are out of balance with the ecosystem and the results are surprising.  The concern continues to grow as the 2010 statistics come in.  The Lolo elk herd is down from 20,000 elk to 1,700 elk.  Yellowstone Herd down from 20,000 elk to 6,000 elk.  Jackson Shiras Moose down from 1,200 moose to 117 moose.  All of these herds have less than 10% calves.  You need 25% just to sustain a population.  This is not just bad for elk and moose…in the long term it is bad for wolves.

Exactly, and there's so much corruption involved in the management of them that it's not going to get better any time soon. We had wolf management ripped from the states hands by some panty waist, federal district judge in Kahoots with Humane society high profile dip shit.
It dont make sense :iroll:

Randy, thanks for that post. I was in Yellowstone and Jackson last month and saw so few elk in and around the park that we wondered what was up, figured that they had migrated to some other wintering area.

It is hearsay but word from an insider on the British Columbia game management group is that due to political and media pressure, they are going to let wolves all but exterminate moose in northern BC, let the wolves die back and start over regrowing a moose herd.  That is a decades long process of course.  All I know is that there are astounding numbers of wolves in northern BC and fewer moose every year.
