Anyone who thinks that it is wolves that are the only ones depleting the sheep population must be snorting powdered sheep shat. Sheep habitat is not one that is readily suited to garnering food for wolves. That is not to say that it does not occur but is certainly the exception. Their food source is much more readily where the deer and such are located and more of them as well. And to think that trappers can make any difference in wolf numbers, knows nothing of trapping these animals. There are those that are quite successful in taking wolves but are the exception.. Even bounties are not the answer.
If, supposedly, it is the wolves doing this damage, well surely then, they must have been spotted by those sheep hunters. If this were the case, did these sheep hunters, do what was required of them and harvest a wolf instead.....I doubt it....
