[QUOTE="hrnhntr, post: 1521125, member: 46677"] The problem with “gods balance” being spoken about here is this is not the wolf that was eradicated before. Those are extinct. As mentioned above, humans mess with everything trying to fix what they messed up. In this case introducing the much larger timber wolf. These wolves made their living up north on moose. So when introduced to Yellowstone the deer, elk, moose and now even bison have suffered. I have many friends and a couple outfitters I know in the area who can attest to how few elk and moose they see now days. The wolf population has been well over population objectives since well before they started working to de-list them. Unless the government poisons the pups in their dens they will never be eradicated. I’m not saying eradicate, but the population needs to be reduced substantially or that entire ecosystem is going to crash. There used to be in excess of 20k elk on the elk refuge in the winter. Now it’s somewhere around 5k. [/QUOTE]
