fabs,

More details. In the days of which you speak, before white man in the west......

The native wolf in Idaho was a much smaller animal than what was reintroduced (Canadian Grey Wolf, I believe)

They were, and "were" is accurate as the reintroduced wolf has made the native wolf extinct. Really.

I saw two myself (natives) about 26 years ago. Long before digital cameras just 30 miles east of here.

One was cruising at about 35 mph along side of me before I slowed and it xrossed about 20 ft in front.

Take 50 or so pounds off of these reintroduced wolves and you have a whole new ecology. Maybe one we could live with. Until then (I was going to say SSS, but I won't)
