One in the Umpqua forest. Good bye our deer and elk.

@@user-mk5uz1ez3k no not even! There is plenty to go around lol

@@moto_misfitt a predator that can reproduce well that can be hunted. What's going to happen is there's going to wolf's every we're and they get to hunt 24 7. Wolf's can smell . Good by deer and elk.

@@user-mk5uz1ez3k no not even close! Too much maga fona in the area for anyone to even worry about

@@user-mk5uz1ez3k after working with wolves myself; think of it this way. Imagine you took on the carnivorous diet, you feasted one night, and then you still feel kind of stuffed the following day, after happily sleeping through the night, and you have so much healthy, balanced energy you feel like you can fast until dinner time. For wolves, that fasting can be up to one or two weeks before they have to make a large kill; or they’ll have to do with small to medium sized pray that is around. Realistically, the wolves will only eat when they need to for the health of their pack which isn’t too frequent. That ecology of the wolves needing to hunt, their prey defending themselves, and being on the run, is what rebalanced Yellowstone in my lifetime. I am as old as the Yellowstone Wolf reintroduction program. The more I got to know wolves, the more I began to see them like Mufasa and Simba in the lion King, who have a deep reverence for the native ecosystem and the health of the herds, while scar just wanted to feast for himself and give the hyenas all the spoils who scared the herds away and we know what happens in the movie. We are all connected in the great circle of life.

Agreed 100 percent.

And with all due respect, (as it is well documented), there is the long history of using livestock guardians like favorite guardian dog breeds, and the legends of the Texas Longhorns, who are quite famous for their defense tactics the more I learned about them. The herds will circle around their young with their big horns facing outward, and the leader of the herd will put up a fight with its size, strength, and ideally longhorns. Wolves can also be scared away like coyotes with what I just explained, and how some ranchers use brightly colored flags on their paddock fences that can mimic how other animals use bright colors as a warning like how skunks are the unmistakable black-and-white for their stink.

I see both sides, but from my experience, nature is healthier with them. They tend to hunt the old, sick, and weak, helping keep the herds healthier. Unlike me and my fellow hunters, who either A. take the large rack trophies or B. take spikes for better meat.

Mule deer populations are decimated. Introducing a different species of wolf has been a success story...if your a wolf

@@nateb4543 nobody cares what whites think screw Grant county

Our??

@@nateb4543Wolves only eat weaker prey. This helps make prey populations healthier.

There was no good reason to exterminate them. Wolves are native to the habitat. They were in the habitat first before we humans showed our idiotic selves to the habitat. We should learn to co-exist with them. If we don’t like them around, then we should be the ones to leave if we don’t want to be around them.

Wolves were in the habitat first. They are native to the habitat. You should coexist with them. If you don’t like them around, then you should leave. Humans are mostly the problematic species because they tend to make many species extinct or endangered. Most extinctions and endangerments have been caused by us. Wolves should have never been exterminated. True, they could be dangerous for pets, humans, and livestock, but they were on the habitat first. Learn to adapt to their presence or leave.
