Mexican Grey were reintroduced in NM/AZ 20ish years ago. There last count was 180 known/ collared wolves about 2 months ago. There are a good number of uncollared not documented wolves as well. So actual # is unknown

I hope they do not become too plentiful. They sure do eat a lot of mule deer!
 
As to wolves in Arizona, we have to think of the jaguars. The jaguars have made a tepid comeback in Arizona, although if Trump's wall is completed it will be hard for them to continue their northward expansion from Chihuahua, Mexico. Every deer that a wolf eats is one deer less for the jaguars!
