[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]I love it when people use the "Look at Minnesota" example when talking about wolves. You are right Minnesota has plenty of deer, but you should look at population density maps to see where those deer are.[/size][/#808000][/font]

[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]In the areas that Wolves primarily populate today, the deer population is dramatically lower than in the rest of the state. Even most metropolitan areas of the state that have poor deer habitat, have higher population densities than the areas with Wolves.[/size][/#808000][/font]

[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]Is this bad? I don't know but the Minnesota DWR has decided that something needs to be done in attempt to manage the wolves.[/size][/#808000][/font]
