How often would a pack of 10 wolves make a substantial kill of a full grown moose to live?
Once per week? Once every 10 days? Once evey 2 weeks?

I have been led to believe that wolves at times will kill just to kill. True or false I do not know. Do the park wardens kill wolves in jasper and Banff? You would think they would.
I was told by a pilot that years back he was paid to chase sheep from Alberta into B.C. and back again.

Rhetorical question? Sarcasm? Joke?

Just a question. Seen wolves as well as sheep. After reading some of the posts on here there should be one or the other. Can't say I've seen lots of wolves there(only seen 2) but there is no shortage of sheep.
