And as far as cats go hunter are pretty much doing 100% of what they can on that front.

So, if wolves are a bigger problem than cats...and sheep and cat hunters are supposedly much better outdoorsmen than us trappers "who are screwing the pooch"( as you put it in the other thread)
lol, why doesn't your sheep and cat group go out and try to take some wolves out? In my area, a resident hunter may go out on a general license and hunt and harvest(but not trap or snare) wolves over bait...even on registered traplines...must be the same in your WMU. Also wondering...have you approached any of the local trappers to see if they would take you on as a junior...with your sole purpose to reduce wolf numbers? If the trappers on your end aren't interested in harvesting wolves, these same trappers probably wouldn't mind if you target just the wolves. Have you approached or asked anyone...just curious as to what their response was.
