Idaho's increasing wolf population doesn't appear to be hurting other wildlife.
Elk, deer survival high despite prowling wolves. Idaho’s increasing wolf population doesn’t appear to be hurting other wildlife. By Rocky Barker. Idaho Statesman.
“Elk and deer survival remains high despite the growing wolf population in Idaho.’
Barker’s story is old news. This has been reported time after time, but it is in the Idaho Statesman (Idaho largest newspaper), and some hunters and groups will continue to say elk, deer, whatever have “been decimated.”
