[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1527471"] I have to agree that it is entirely possible that the wolves reintroduced from Canada are not the same sub-species that were here originally. At the very least it's likely that they did not have the same evolutionary traits as wolves that lived in Canada for thousands of years. Just look at the variation between Blacktail and Rocky Mountain Mule Deer; Blacktail live on the west side of the Cascades and are extremely different than the Mule deer living on the East slope of the Cascades. The same goes for Rocky Mountain Elk and Roosevelts. For some reason a few members on this site are getting all sorts of uppity and condescending towards anyone who dares to question the exact size, and evolutionary traits of historically native vs. introduced wolves.. I worked at Moscow Hide and Fur while I was a student, and personally skinned around 20 wolves.. I can tell you that the average weight was over 120 lbs, and when hanging from an 8 foot ceiling hook their hind legs touched the floor. That's a big *** wolf! It's a fact that USFW was playing God when they launched this wolf re-introduction program, they can never just accept that the natural ecosystem was altered permanently by man. Trying to restore the native range of every species through "Assisted Migration" is just straight up retarded. [/QUOTE]
