I wish there were only 1000 wolves up here. I've heard and read of far more. There is NO way to count them with the terrain they can live in. Men can't go to 90% of the places those wolves goI have been pondering this statement the last couple days...maybe everybody could be happy if we took all the wolves in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming and dropped them off in texas and other Southern states that are being overtaken with wild pigs and coyotes. Can't help but think a 1000 wolves could put a hurtin on some pig populations. This way we save the elk and mule deer and wolf all while taking care of the feral pig problem...
