My family deer hunted that area for 25 years. We actually rented an old house for deer season from Paul, the guy mentioned in the article, for a few years. We moved on to other areas because the wolves decimated the deer in the there. Like brought it down to 1 -2 deer sightings a season per guy!!
It's all national forest around there so sadly, I'm sure nothing will be done about them.
That is a coincidence, T, small world that you knew Paul Canik. That guy has more patience then I would having to deal with wolves. His history with them sounds more like it is taking place in Siberia.
