The sheer number of wolves has increased drastically since I started hunting here in Alberta when I first moved out here with the military, that cannot be denied. The only thing that controls wolf populations is man and starvation/disease! There are places in the province that used to be abundant with umgulates and now hold very few! Sure we hunters are part of that equation as with the oil boom the population of hunter also boomed! But predators need to controlled! They have always been seen as " the big bad wolf" and have earned that reputation! Yes, they are a majestic looking animal that has all the anti's saying " awe the poor puppies ". But they need to be controlled!
