Wrong.
My ancestors are homesteaders in Montana and I can tell you for a fact, the wolf that roamed the West was no bigger then about 50 lbs average.
Whereas the Canadian gray they brought down in 95 & 96 normally get about 100 to 180 lbs on a regular basis regardless of what the pro-wolf crowd claims.
Oh, by the way, I also have 1/8 Blackfoot in my ancestry, and I have had legends and stories handed down to me from the Nez Peirce who are supposed to be the caretakers of the Wolf program in Idaho.
If you look at the devastation in Idaho's Lolo Elk Management zone 10 & 12, you will find that my native brothers are doing a very poor job of what the white man's government is paying them for.
Here are just a few of the hundreds of carcasses laying around that the wolves killed for sport, but never intend on eating.
This bull elk was found killed but not eaten 30 miles outside of Libby, Montana in the Winter of 2008.
The photo on the left shows blood where a wolf landed that the bull elk hooked by the horns and threw in his struggle to survive. The body print of the wolf in the snow is evident. The photo to the right gives you an idea of how big one of the wolves were by the size of his paw compared to the man's hand. There are plenty reports of 180 lb wolves roaming in Idaho like the one Brett Pitcher of Coeur d'Alene shot in the St Joe area this past winter.
The remaining photos are all from Idaho's

This cow elk, from which the fetus had been torn, died in this man's arms.
