Over the last 50 years I've watched a really good hunting area (deer/black bear/elk) up north of Spokane degrade rather significantly. A lot of that is due to the mature timber with no fires resulting in not much browse for the deer. However, having moose, grizzlies and wolves move in sure hasn't helped. I saw a couple of grey wolves over by Colville a couple years ago. They stood as tall at the shoulder as the deer they were tailing! It takes more than a can of Alpo to keep them satisfied.
I now see more moose than deer in my old stomping ground which isn't all bad but the odds of getting a moose tag are not good. As an example, one weekend I saw 8 deer and 12 moose and the deer don't much run anymore as they think anything making a racket is a moose! We haven't had any attacks on people yet but the grizzlies are chowing down on the elk and have spread clear down to the Blue Mountains. In the Mountain View GMU, I saw a female grizzly wandering across an open hillside and I'm the one that changed course when I figured out that we were headed into each other. It does get your attention knowing that you are sharing the woods with a grizzly or even a wolf pack. I want them gone – all of them. They are nothing but a pain in the *** or worse. In fact I will volunteer the entire Washington population of both grizzly and wolves to move to the city of Denver. That plus a decent fire or two we could get back to some good deer hunting not to mention elk.
