Here we go agian (Grey Wolf)

[OrangeBlood]

Project staff detected 365 wolf kills including 302 elk (83%), 19 bison (5%), 17 deer (2%), 1 moose (<1%), 4 pronghorn (<1%), 1 bighorn sheep (<1%), 1 Canada goose (<1%), 1 bald eagle (<1%), 3 coyotes (<1%), 2 red foxes (<1%), 6 wolves (2%), and 8 unknown prey (2%). The composition of elk kills was 24% calves, 36% cows, 29% bulls, and 10% unknown sex and/or age. Bison kills included 7 calves, 4 cows, 3 bulls, and 5 unknown sex adults. Intensive winter and summer studies of wolf predation continued.

Can you get me the numbers on how many animals were poached that year?


Those kills are a drop in the bucket compared to their populations....

The problem here is finding "neutral" experts. Most push their agenda under the guise of expertise.

I agree with this as well Perhaps Professors that represent a school of higher learning and are well versed in the Canis Lupus life cycle and history should be on a panel of experts to pull from.

Take the total nubmber based on say just 100 wolves in the info above. which is 365 kills I am assuming in one year. Now if 365 x 12 that is 4380 kills in a year on top of the hunting permits given out for the year for elk or other animals. That is going to lower the amount of tags given to hunters each year for game. Thats also going to hurt the wildlife agencies which will loose the money for the lost permit numbers.

Just saying
