[QUOTE="jmden, post: 611358, member: 1742"] Size of Canada in square miles: 3.5 million square miles Number of people in Canada: 33.4 million (2011) Size of continental US in square miles: 3.1 million square miles Number of people in continental US: 306.6 million (2010) Somewhat similar size. Nearly 10x the number of people in the continental US. I think Wyoming has had it right all along--open season on wolves all the time anywhere. Even at that there will still need to be aggressive aerial gunning, trapping, etc. to keep a population that grows at a rate many times faster than the elk and deer and moose herds to give the cervids a chance, not to mention the stock in the farmers back yard. History has shown this time and again with wolves. Edit: Topgun, it sounds like you know a bit about hunting in Canada. Can you fill us in on how/why there is this lack of hunting up there?
