P.S.: Indeed the fact that there are no large packs of Wolves in Pennsylvania is definitely a plus for growing (allowing to grow/age!) trophies like that.


I believe there's a very small population of Red wolves in some of the eastern coastal states. Red wolves are larger than coyotes but smaller than grey wolves. They are listed as an endangered species so not anywhere near enough of them to be a concern as a threat to healthy mature deer or elk populations. I'd imagine, though, they could and likely would take down whitetail fawns and an occasional elk calve.

Back around the late '80s - early '90s KY's F&G was going to try to reestablish Red Wolves in the "Land Between The Lakes" preserve but were met with many objections from surrounding property owners who feared they would eventually stray off the preserve and become a threat to livestock, pets and possibly humans. F&G and game couldn't guarantee they could keep them contained on the preserve and finally just gave up and dropped the whole restock plan.
