[QUOTE="wv270wsm, post: 1649595, member: 96251"] I’d believe the wolves have killed most of their preferred food off and moved on. It happens all the time with other predators . Look at lynx numbers up in Alaska if the snowshoe hare is up the lynx are on the up swing if hare numbers are down the lynx numbers plummet. Same thing happened on my piece of property with cotton tail rabbits and coyotes . The first four or five years we lived here my rabbit dogs were in great shape and could easily run 6-7rabbits every outing. The coyotes moved in one winter and by spring we were only running on average one maybe two bunnies every couple outings. With some good ol serious trapping and shooting mr coyote at bait piles they kinda caught the hint . And the rabbit numbers are coming back up [/QUOTE]
