[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 581921, member: 30671"] Thank you for checking on those numbers, and the link. I'm gone hunting for a bit, might check with your CO when I get back. 7 packs at 6-8 members gives 56 wolves. In Idaho I don't know the size reference, but unit 10 & 12 game department numbers are 75-100 wolves. This type of wolf has been observed in packs of 20 plus, with 10-12 very common. The Lolo elk unit I'm talking about had 16000 elk pre-wolf in a few years the number is less than 2000. Those numbers are game department numbers which many feel are a bit "optimistic". The F&G is also officially noting, in that 2000 there aren't many if any calves. I can't quite laugh at the deer in the headlight look of some of the 'biologist" wear these days as Federal money dries up, and tag sales are off $3 million, and the ground is coming up fast. The Yellowstone elk herd has gone from about 20,000-4000 and cow calf ratio is also in the toilet. Shiras Moose are also gone from many units. I'm glad your elk and moose are doing well, but this is our experience. [/QUOTE]
