We can get nit picky about what state they were introduced, bottom line is there was no reintroduction into Montana they were 66 wolves already here before they were introduced into Yellowstone. There is biologist admitting to that now and admitting to clean back in 1966 that they wanted the wolf in Yellowstone to help control the elk numbers increasing in Yellowstone.
I think there's been 2,000 wolves killed in Montana the last 10 years legally and we are just now keeping the numbers even at 1000-1200 IF you believe them.
Personally I really don't care how we reduce the numbers to get close to what was agreed upon that was the agreement so stick to it.
