I'm more familiar with the wolf situation in the northern rockies, where a larger breed of Canadian gray wolf that was not native to the region was reintroduced instead of the smaller wolves that lived here before. The bigger wolves that had specialized for hunting moose and following immense caribou herds have been dominating the elk and deer populations here.

Is the situation similar in Wisconsin or are the wolves being hunted there actually native to the area?

The state Department of Natural Resources estimated before the hunt that there were about 1,000 wolves in the state. Its population goal for the animal is 350.

So they actually want to kill 65% of the population. The hunters just got after it more quickly than the agency wanted.

Red and Gray Wolves were all over North America as recent as the 1930's

Not where I live where hunting seasons actually make sense. It's definitely a problem in some places though. And deer weren't really related to my point which is that the bigger gray wolves reintroduced in the northern rockies had specialized into hunting larger game like moose and elk where the smaller red wolves and plains gray wolves that were more predominant here in the past killed deer etc and didn't harass the elk, moose, and livestock to the same degree.

Where I live in Texas the hunting season doesn't even put a dent on the White Tailed Deer and the coyotes are not much bigger than the foxes.

We have herds in front yards. There was a mention of a Mountain lion living in the area for the giant buffet and people's first fucking reaction was how fast they could fucking find and kill the thing.

What if we resettle the wolves to increase biodiversity and provide them with access to resources like food security, free veterinary care, and protection from anti-wolf hate?

And for rattlesnakes too. And those freshwater snails that colonize your ureathra. (archive.vn)

I watched a documentary on a hunter and the Wolf he was hunting, about how the hunter could never trap the wolf. Until one day he targeted it's lover the female wolf and the sad thing was the male wolf went over I think three traps on it's legs to get next to the female wolf. Hunter felt like shit after and wanted to save it but couldn't. Really sad story and a great documentary at the same time. Wolves are bad ass.

Oh you watched a documentary once. The wolf's lover? Anthropomorphize much? Wolves are shit. Have you ever seen how they kill? Not the cut out versions on the stupid documentaries designed to romanticize them, but the real deal? They rip an animals guts out from its ass basically and eat their prey alive. They dont kill then eat, they kill by eating. They also regularly maim an animal and leave it to die just for the fuck of it. Wolves are shit. They were wiped out for a reason. By people who actually had to deal with them. But those people who had first hand experience with wolves are now called ignorant by the masses that have never had to live around wolves.

Fair enough and I wasn't complaining merely just talking about the one documentary I watched. If wolves do that then I wouldn't want to raise a farm or family next to them. Again I don't live around wolves so I'm pretty ignorant to them. Thanks for educating me but it was a pretty cool documentary. Eating their prey without killing them first. Assholes

There is no honor in this.

trapping is inhumane, and really shocked it is still allowed

but you have to control the population of them... just like deer

they have no natural predators, a adult deer can easy outrun a wolf
