The only good wolf is a dead wolf

I was going to say something sarcastic, but I see you're from Peace country. Carry on!

Used to mean something quite different. Seems like in this case it's;

Happy to say, my eldest son saved a bunch of elk this year.

who the ,,,, would think they could turn out wolves and expect them to stay in certain areas. They multiply n follow the food source wherever it's at. Pretty basic

The wolf problem in N.M. is out of control. The elk herd is crashing and ranchers are losing cows , calves and one rancher lost a full grown angus bull . He was run to death by a pack! Areas that once had large herds of elk that we would go out to watch now have very few elk. Wolf tracks are everywhere and we have no way to control them. Once again the government stands in our way so we watch wolves destroy are elk. I guess it could be worse. I could be a coffee shop owner locked out and told I can not work to support my family!

I was checking on tags for 2021 with Wyoming game and parks and ran across a piece by a state biologist that said in the winter time 1 wolf will eat 1.8 elk per month. Man o chavez that would start to add up to big numbers after a while

take a pack of 10 or so and do that math.......

now just think what a 20-30 wolf pack can eat 1 moose every 3 days,I have seen what happens when they hit the cow caribous during calving, I counted 14 dead cow with there calves ripped out and only a small bit eaten out of each one. it looked like a kill frenzy

That's the thing, they would rather follow the food than pick at the bones.

If times are lean, yes they'll grind a carcass to nothing, but that's the exception, not the rule.

Here is what they did in Wyoming in one night I believe... all sick, CWD positive - -

They don't just eat wildlife.

Guy out of ione, WA shot a wolf in self defense this Oct when he was surrounded by a pack. It was fully investigated and deemed justified.

The reintroduction of wolves into Idaho has been a sickening disaster. Protecting the rapid growing wolf population has really hurt ranchers and hunters, but has pleased the liberals and out-of-sight easterners.

not all easterners are pleased. the wackjobs just get all the microphone time from our propaganda media. In fact, I think blue state refugees to red states need to maintain a residence for at least 10 years before being allowed to vote.

We've been hunting the Thorofare for the last few years and I believe there's a hell of a lot more wolves and grizzlies than we have been led to believe. Last September there were 8 different grizzlies in one drainage. 11 different grizzlies last year in the pass creek area alone. Didn't always see wolves but heard them nightly.

I think these kills are more common than one thinks. That's big country and you don't just go out your back door and your 30 miles in the back country.
