Well GOB.. I didn't have the first S right at hand. When I chased them out of the pasture they ran past my neighbors place. He happened to see some of them too. His horses went a little crazy. There were a couple other wolves that came past our places last year. My neighbor told me it seems we are in a kind of natural corridor for animals to travel. He has seen wolves bears elk and even a moose. Plenty moose in the Bighorns..right now. When the wolves get up there in force. They'll get wiped out pretty quick.

MTP...I know from your previous elk post that ya got yourself one on that hunt. I especially liked your advice to the elk hunters out there. I told a friend of mine that went to Montana to hunt elk to quit smoking and get in good shape before he went. He didn't make it but 2 days....and according to him he almost died up there.

Your observation on the elk is the same as I have been hearing. Talked to a fellow who hunted the Thorofare this year. He hunts it most every year I guess. He said the elk numbers are so far down he's seeing only 10-20% of the animals he saw 5 yrs ago. He also said the size of the bulls he has been seeing is significantly smaller too.. But that may be subjective. I do know that some of the hunters who hunt the bighorns are swearing to shoot every wolf they see. Wyoming has to find a way to keep the numbers in check or there will be a lot of the S S S. From what I have been told there are quite a few wolves that have tracking devices on them.
