Fabs,

My point is that if the monetary value of the herd animals is lost to wolf predation, then hunting won't survive and neither will the wolf. There has to be an intelligent balance.

You are correct. Man is just an animal that is greedy and can be self destructive. I just believe the balance is ,as far as the ecology of the wolf, is being decided in federal courts by groups that don't truly understand the long term consequences of their actions. The greenies are probably being manupulated by the anti-gun people to a certain extent. Even the state biologists are being ignored by the courts. The manipulation of the courts is what will be the end of any common- sense balanced biological approach to the situation.
