Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting/hiking/backpacking/National Parks/animals list please FR mail me to be on or off . And ping me is you see articles of interest.
Article doesn't mention relative populations, but interesting. Not sure the significance. The article doesn't mention it, but the comments seem to imply it relates to regulation of the wolf population. Guess they need to consider regulating both, or saying the heck with it, the more predators the better.

Key phrase elk calf depredations. The more wolves and mountain lions, the more calves we lose. I don’t pass a shot and don’t bring them home.

Mountain kitties hunt you. And Fifi, your miniature poodle.

I never thought mountain lions killed many wolves.

It took them to now to figure that out. Now what’s really up?? Save the damn wolves again??
To: SJackson
Cougar are an established specie in Idaho while wolves were reintroduced. Since wolves do not affect cougar populations, having both is going to reduce elk populations, regardless of which predator kills the most elk.
My cousin who is an avid hunter has pointed out: "We are learning why our forefathers got rid of the wolves in the first place." I wish the Idaho Fish and Game would spend a hell of lot more time improving trout fishing, which is abysmal in the Panhandle as compared to what it once was, than bringing back wolves, which have no purpose other than make some ivory-tower biologists happy.

Wolves were reintroduced as an argument for gun control.
The wolves kill off the elk and moose and deer.
Then, the gun grabbers start asking why anyone needs a rifle.

You guys! Come on. Wolves and Cougars make backpacking more exciting. You can’t leave all the work to the bears.

Mountain lions kill more elk than wolves.
Not concerned. It's the elk's problem.
