I like Skeet's idea of turning some wolves loose in Central Park. I think that would be a nice wake up call to the tree-hugging eco-terrorists that want to save all the cute furry creatures while being ignorant of the implications of doing so.
While we do not have much, if any, of a wolf problem where I live, the coyotes are the real culprits out here. Many a pet and even vulnerable livestock have been taken by a 'yote, and there are too many cases of 'yotes attacking children and even adults. We do have a season for these buggers, and there is no bag limit. While I am unsure of the effectiveness of this 'management' practice, I am confident it has made some impact to manage these predators.
I do believe there should be some sort of season on wolves in those areas where they (the wolves) are throwing the ecosystem out of balance. And I strongly feel that the people who should make and govern those (hunting season) regulations should be from those areas. The people (read "politicians and any other anti-hunting and eco-terrorist special interest group") in D.C. and elsewhere are so far disconnected (particularly geographically) from Wyoming, Alaska, and any other area that is or may be impacted by the wolf-density problem, that they are the last people who should have any say in how wolf populations should be managed.
