[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1249558, member: 41338"] Actually it was neither shooting or trapping although trapping was done for specific depredation issues and shooting was more a matter of opportunity. Disease is natures way of crashing a population however disease seldom wipes a species out in an area and once crashed, it begins it's cycle of equilibrium again. What got wolves out of the lower 48 was the U.S. Dept of Ag using poison baits and M44's. No doubt private ranchers claimed their share using poison as well. Even with radio collar tracking (which wasn't even thought of back in the day) of a pack, your not going to wipe out a the pack by shooting or trapping although it will give you a sense of control and makes for excellent conversation around the fire.
