As much as I've been in the woods, I've never seen a wolf. So I was happy to receive one to process. He was taken on Hungarian Ridge near Idaho City, ID by a local hunter.
I was amazed at the size of the teeth and jaws of the animal. His jaw opened at least ten inches and his large canine teeth were equipped to tear into any prey.
Wolves have always killed to eat. It's the way nature intended. However, why more wolves were brought from Canada and introduced into our elk herds in Idaho is open to question.
The number of game taken by man can be controlled through established territories, length of seasons and the number of hunting licenses issued. No restrictions can be put on wolves who must eat all year. As a result, the game has dwindled and the wolves must now be killed.
Nature has a method of taking care of her own. When men tamper with her authority, somebody loses. In this case, it seems it is the wolves.
