[QUOTE="jkrische, post: 89319, member: 4558"] Amen to that Ronnie. Since they re-introduced wolves into Yellowstone, the wolves have decimated the Northern Yellowstone elk herd. I have been talking to a park ranger who lives nearby and he said that at the time the wolves were released the northern herd numbered about 2200. The last estimate he's seen now puts the number at between 1000 and 1100. The wolves are not predated upon by anyone or anything and their population is exploding. The elk have no defense against the wolves. It's like introducing a mutated strain of the bird flu in humans. The elk started staying nearer to the human habitations for protection but even that didn't work. My friend, the park ranger, told me that one morning he got to work and found what was left of an elk that had been killed by wolves on the steps of the main restaurant at Mammoth Hot Springs. They had to hurry to clean up the gore so the tourists wouldn't be shocked by it. I agree that the wolf should be listed as a game animal and have a hunting season for it.
