Wolves - space-time - 07-25-2013 With so many deers around here, how come I have never seen a wolf, of even heard about them? I have seen foxes and other animals, either crossing the road or running across a field, but never wolves. What is the Wolfe estimated population in Northe America? Re: Wolves - Speedy - 07-25-2013 The wolves in my state stay mostly to the northern woods: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mammals/wolves/mgmt.html Deer are not so particular. Wolves don't particularly like people because we kill them and they are smart enough to know that. Re: Wolves - DP - 07-25-2013 What Speedy says. Plus if a wolf shows up in your back yard people will freak and start shooting rather than say, "How cute!". The wolf population in MI (and cougars!) has been increasing and some folks want a limited hunting season the thin them.

I think they not shooting in NM or AZ. Haven't heard much lately but earlier this summer they were thinking or taking the Grey wolf off the endangered list. Re: Wolves - Mike Johnson - 07-25-2013 6100. What's sad is, delisting the wolf means people will hunt them to preserve livestock. Meanwhile, 200 Americans are killed each year by deer. Why do we have 30 million deer? Because we killed off all their predators. But thank god we saved some sheep!

Mostly they eat rodents and bunnies and the occasional opossum and racoon. And of course trash and the occasional household pet. We lost a cat to a suspected coyote one year, based on the bite marks on his brother's butt. Poor Ginger... |
