Would like to thank Mr. Stewart for all the info. that he has provided on this thread. Darn, some of those you tube vids. were hard to watch, even though it's just the way things happen naturally in the forest.
Listened to the CBC program, and though the biologist Stan Boutin (sp?) sounded quite knowledgeble and sincere in his study of Caribou decline, he just mentions in passing any bear problems, and nothing at all is said about poisons being used on wolves. His main point is that it is the introduction of man made corriders (roads, pipelines etc.), and the destruction of caribou habitat from forestry operations that has allowed wolfs to have much greater access to the caribou. Don't see any solution to that problem ever happening in AB.
