When it comes to wolves I am of the opinion that outside of a zoo the only lace for a wolf is six feet under in the lower 48.
Rather a pathetic and myopic way of looking at an entire ecosystem; considering they were there first and never decimated the deer herds. That didn't happen until man showed up.........

Sorry, but there really is no place anymore for these predators imported from Canada. Up here in Idaho, one of my friends grew up on a ranch in northern Idaho. He is quite familiar with the native Idaho wolf that used to survive mainly on rodents. They did not bother his cattle. Now, we deal with the Mackenzie Valley wolves taking over the entire ecosystem here in the west. The Mackenzie Valley wolves are the largest and most aggressive wolves in North America. Take a look at a comparison of the native Idaho wolf and this pestilent species forced upon us by the Feds:

Besides the Echinococcus parasite that invades humans as well, the Canadian wolf does decimate ungulate populations in Alaska all the time. There is a reason that the wolves are hunted incessantly in Alaska.
Yes, there is no place for Canada's Mackenzie Valley wolves here in Alaska. My suspicion is that the Feds wish to destroy subsistence hunting practiced in the western states so that when the SHTF scenario comes, we won't be able to head to the hills and feed our families like many do today. Finding elk in the St. Joe River area of Idaho is becoming a more difficult task because of this deadly predator. Once you get an elk, you need to examine the innards to make sure it is not infected with Hydatid cysts from eat grass contaminated with wolf feces containing the parasite. Bears, elk, deer ad other animals are becoming infected substantially making the hazard of bringing this parasite into your home more likely.
In addition, simply being out hunting where you could encounter ground contaminated by wolf feces now is an additional health hazard. You MUST leave hunting shoes outside and clean them before bringing them into the house to get on carpet and other areas of the house where the parasites can then be available to infect humans as well. People that get infected can have cysts form in the brain and throughout the body. Surgical removal is the best method of curing these cysts but the problem is that during surgical removal, if the cyst ruptures, thousands of parasites are released and will form thousands of cysts in the exposed areas.
In other words, Canadian Mackenzie Valley wolves are a NIGHTMARE forced upon us by the Feds who KNEW all of this information BEFORE they "reintroduced" the gray. It was not a reintroduction, it was a Federal INVASION.
). The wolves have made it down to our leased land the last five years and we see them every rifle season.
