Hunt deer/ elk etc…thats fine. Those you can eat. What does shooting a wolf do for you? To me, anyone who is a trophy hunter is just a tool bag…

Wolf populations don’t just “even out”. Not until they run out of alternative prey. And there’s these giant fenced in yards full of fat, slow deer. Then there are the slow little cotton ball shaped deer…

Odd that the wolves, left unchecked before mankind, didn’t kill off all the deer then?

Before man entered the picture there were large fluctuations in the populations of both predator and prey species.

Agreed, to a certain extent.

But what kind of “sportsman” would want to hunt one.

[conan]

Except that is not what happens…they start going after livestock.

[WuWei]

Or worse…

[conan]

It’s also inhuman.

Like I said…thanks for proving my point

Umm…It’s nature. Nature is a bitch, thats the way it is. You know, the whole survival of the fittest thing…Im sure you’ve heard of it…

Wild life management has a lot of moving parts. The answer here is that the wolves would move on.

@Samm

When they have killed off large numbers of ungulates the population crashes.

I said that earlier in this thread…Wolf population crashes, then the prey species recover. Then the cycle repeats…

My reply was to your OP.

But one has to wonder why you asked the question if you already knew the answer.

You want to starve them?

Thats nature…Nature will cull the weak.

Nature is a LOT more cruel than a hunter’s bullet.

@Scratch

Thats not nature…

Man is not nature?

Just can’t bring yourself to admit I’m right, huh.

What point was that?

We should never have invented livestock. The greatest mistake in the history of humanity.

Man is not nature?

Man can destroy the world (or at least those that inhabit it). It’s just human nature.

[Samm]

That’s a pretty huge step up from shooting wolves.

Just human nature.

Its also human nature to improve on nature by controlling predators so that prey species don’t crash.

You can’t improve upon nature.
