[QUOTE="MtPockets, post: 1543056, member: 39651"] I don't know how many on here get Fur-Fish-Game Magazine, but there is an excellent article about wolves in the Jan '19 issue. The author, Jack Whitman, has been a wildlife researcher and trapper in Idaho, Alaska, and even in Russia since the 70's, so I would think he knows a thing or two. I won't quote everything he said, but he talks about seeing wolf tracks in Idaho in the 70's- several years before the reintroduction, but that it gave the wolves a big boost and are now overly abundant in many areas. He also talks about the so called "super-wolf", and says that after handling several hundred wolves the biggest he knows of went 136 pounds. Probably the most disturbing news, to me, was that a pack will in fact produce more than one litter of pups in a year. He explains that given that more than one female can have a litter of 4-7 pups each, a pack can grow from 5-6 to 20 or more in a single year! That makes the Montana FWP Area 313 quota of only 2 even more absurd. Like I said, it is an excellent article written with a common sense and hard earned knowledge that is sometimes hard to find today. [/QUOTE]
