Wonderful…. as we treat our wildlife so will we be treated.
Good news but I worry about the quote of the guy who said that wolves are “exploding” in population.
If they are really exploding in population, those 40 elk aren’t going to feed them for long.
They hadn’t even confirmed that wolves have killed an elk yet. I think there a plenty of deer in the area. I visited there once, but can’t remember it in detail.
Yes 40 elk isn’t much of a prey base.
I suspect the real reason for the return of the wolves is because they are not poisoning or trapping the wolves much.
