I am no expert on wolves, I think native wildlife belongs. I was told that in Montana the wolves needed deep snow to be more successful at catching game, If so warming trends wont help wolves on big game. I watched a Wolfe just before thanks giving with no snow in Montana catching mice. I talked with a local that hunted early season elk in so. west Montana and said he had seen more elk than he had ever seen and the hunting pressure pushed them back to Idaho as the snow melted. I have also been hunting places in Montana were there is not wolves and the game is differently missing and I think with several years of drought and over hunting added, that is the result, I have witnessed the same thing in California without wolves. I was also aware that wolves go after coyote , so however many they kill you would need to subtract the depredation that the coyote would take, cars are going to run them over , poaching, mistaken identity, I think wolves are going to have a rough time in this era , time will tell. When the game is gone it will not be because of a Wolfe, when humans get a wake up call we don't wake up.
