[QUOTE="Capt. D, post: 899201, member: 10225"] Mildot In 1995 when 31 Canadian Gray wolves were dropped off in the predator pit formerly known as Yellowston National Park, the ungulate populations in the northern rockies were thriving and some said that the "good ole days are now". Well the good ole days are gone and in less than a quarter century one predator specie has virtually decimated many herds across the northern rockies. When the wolves were introduced the Yellowstone elk herd had an average age of 4.5 years old. Today the average age of the Yellowstone elk herd is 8.5 to 9.5 years old and repopulating by reproduction is nearly impossible. One of the most important aspects of a healthy herd is age dispersion. Once age dispersion is lost the overall herd will simply die off. Now we decimated our own ungulate herds through market hunting all by ourselves and the herd numbers were nearly comparable to the herd numbers at the introduction of the Canadian Gray Wolf and it took 90 years to get back to where we were then. With the population of the Eastern Gray Wolf at the time of the introduction of the Canadian Gray, it was populous enough to be taken from the endangered specie list but was held there through law suits from the many environmentalist groups that wanted the additional wolves deposited in the United States. The information that I am spewing is easily attainable with about 1 hour research. There is O'plenty of information out there for those that wish to be informed. Those that don't wish to be informed are those that choose to call others names instead of presenting a valid arguement that is worth having an adult discussion about. [/QUOTE]
