I don’t profess to be an expert about wolves, but what about other scenarios, like if you trap the juveniles in the pack and not both alpha wolves there’d be fewer of them. |
Yeah, might work, but not sure how you can be that selective on traps. Besides, I believe, just like twinning rates rise in ungulates, if you hit a pack and reduce their numbers, they just have more pups.
Frankly, I worry more about bears and the real impact they have on moose and elk than I do wolves.
