[QUOTE="Rollpin, post: 3314643, member: 44873"] So these random packs of feral dogs that kill more cattle than anything else... do they make an impact on hogs? If OK had wolves, we would have much fewer issues with a lot of things. But that doesn't make all those things good to not have issue with. It's not been good for Yellowstone's Elk: Some of the stats - [LIST] [*]Kill rates by wolves in winter are 22 ungulates per wolf per year – higher than the 12 ungulates per wolf rate predicted in the ESA. [*]Since 2000, wolves have caused 45 percent of known deaths and 75 percent of predation deaths (not including human harvests) of radio-collared female elk on the northern range. By comparison, human harvest and winter-kill accounted for 30 percent and 8 percent respectively of the known deaths. [*]The average annual harvest of 1,372 elk during the Gardiner late elk hunts from 1995 to 2004 was higher than the long-term average of 1,014 elk during 1976-1994. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has reduced antlerless permits by 51 percent from 2,882 to 1,400 during 2000-2004 and recently proposed 100 permits for 2006 – a 96 percent decrease from the 2,660 permits issued in 1995. [/LIST] [URL]https://www.yellowstonepark.com/things-to-do/gray-wolves-impact-elk[/URL] That's freaking alarming. [/QUOTE]
