Local Montana hunter - I'm a big fan of wolves. They help stop wasting disease by killing and eating sick animals, preventing them from spreading it. They also reduce elk herd sizes that helps prevent overcrowding of water sources and further disease.
Most hunters that complain about wolves are uninformed and/or bad hunters.
EDIT: Or they're hunting private land and are upset they now have competition that might chase the elk herd off.
- sethammons 3y agoBeing backwards hunters is def a possibility. But hard to argue against wolves as the source since that is how the parasite works. The other effects like preventing overcrowding should be beneficial and especially help waterways as their vegetation on the banks is allowed to grow and mature .
