No. What those stats means is out of all of the moose that died, 55% died by wolves and the other 45% died from other causes etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I haven't watched the video or to be honest know very little about the wolves in the lower 48 but I do have quite a bit of experience and knowledge about wolves. I was an Alaskan big game guide for lots of years and spent more days then I can count in wolf country. Although I like wolves and they serve a purpose I have zero respect for them. When game is abundant wolves kill for sport and waste what they kill. They kill to.kill period. Areas where wolves go unchecked are mostly barren of other game. Don't believe me. Just look at some areas up here where they started predator control and it amazing to see the rebounding moose populations. It is true about nature taking care of itself and the way it worked was we had high highs and low lows. Predators would wipe out most of the prey then they themselves would die off then a slow rebuild. Like it or not man can keep a balance to work for everyone.
We just started to have a good amount of coyotes five years ago or so. The place I hunt had a complete mast failure last year and with the combined coyote increase, fawns died like crazy. They did a study of 30 fawns on the place I hunt and not one made it out of the spring alive.
