[QUOTE="Black Tail Hunter, post: 1800060, member: 59604"] The management problem in Oregon currently is with cougars. I don't think the wolf numbers in Oregon are high enough yet to have a drastic affect on the elk. Since they banned hound hunting for big cats in the 90's the cougars go pretty much unchecked, and the cat numbers are way higher than ODFW lets on. In areas where ODFW has done cat reduction programs the elk populations have rebounded. Of course, it is just a matter of time before the wolf numbers are high enough to start impacting game but they are still getting established. They started by planting them in NE Oregon and I have heard they are now in the Coast Mountains where I live. So they are certainly on the move and growing their territory. I guess time will tell what actual impact they have but I'm sure they will take their toll on an already stressed population of game animals here in Oregon. [/QUOTE]
