sheez, a quick search and I found a story showing that wolves do indeed kill more than they can eat.

Let me guess, the wolves planned on coming back and eating all of these sheep eventually, right? Surely, they didn't kill them "just because"!

A quick search on elk numbers where the wolves are currently, such as Idaho and MT. will show thier numbers on a major decline. It's not hard to put two and two together and figure out that wolves are the primary reason for the declines. last thing we need here in Colo.

By the way, been at least a couple of wolves killed here in Colo. And been a few other confirmed sightings. One or two is fine, let's leave it at that.
