I have to add... Theres a lot of incorrect info in this thread, of which I'm not surprised. The idea of wolves polarizes us. Good and bad.
First, Calling it a Gray wolf is like calling it a car. Sure, it's a gray wolf, but what subspecies? Theres close to 40. Second, the wolves in Canada, are the same subspecies as what was in Oregon and washington when we exterminated then. Third, the "new" wolves are only slightly bigger than wolves of yesteryear. Were talking skulls that differ .125-.250", and that's not from being a different sub species, but due to where they are from. The closer to the equator they are, the smaller they get. That holds true for a lot of mammals.
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a manageable population of wolves. I'd love to have a wolf season. I also wouldnt worry about hunting grounds getting destroyed. Go hunt Alaskan islands. Theres wolves, bears, and elk, and the elk arent going anywhere.
