We are by far the most efficient hunters on the planet, relative to our experience and skill. A wolf that put in as little time and effort into hunting as we do would starve to death within a month.

We alter our environment to the detriment of most species around us, and especially species like Moose. Our roads and cutlines provide easy access for other hunters like wolves and Bear, our farms and cities leave little or nothing for a Moose to eat and our technology kills more Moose then our hunting does.

No doubt about it, Wolves are a major predator of Moose. We are not only a major predator of Moose we kill way more though our other activities then all the Wolves, Bears and ticks combined.

And we blame them for the decline !

So in pockets of land that see little to no human hunting...(or jasper for instance, moose are thick?)
