Mark, If someone were to look at Wyoming moose numbers pre wolf reintroduction vs. present .....the evidence is indisputable! Our elk numbers are down as well. The elk have changed their habitat patterns to survive. There are many more elk spending time in and around human habitation than what they did 20 to 30 years ago. Even sheep have been affected to a lesser degree! On thing that is helping us, a little, is the ability to kill wolves anytime outside their protected areas. memtb
