The Wolf Population In Each State They Inhabit & Their Future

[@ZEEKUPP]

Here in Eastern Oregon, I have had two wolf encounters. They belong here. If we have too many of anything here, it's Mountain Lions.

[@michaelgomez3044]

There are wolves in Florida. There are red wolves on St. Vincent Island and black wolves in south Florida.

[@backcountrylifemagazine6912]

Michigan numbers are way higher than 700! AND they’re in the Lower Peninsula too.

[@chaos0852]

exactly, these surveys never include the wolves of Isle Royale, you can tell that they were not included by his statement that the wolves came from Wisconsin

[@larrystone9474]

Wolves are also present in western Ark. and eastern Oklahoma in the sparsely populated forested, mountainous regions.

[@Tom-ej8eg]

Red wolves are a protected species in Illinois. So are mountain lions.

[@ProspectorAl]

There was an attempt to reintroduce red wolves back into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee several years ago. For various reasons the reintroduction failed.

[@dennistate5953]

There is still a cadre housed at Reflection Riding in Chattanooga.❤

[@charlieharper4975]

How many in DC? About 10,000 last count. And that was just Congress and the IRS.

[@Linda-b1d2m]

They need to leave the Wolves alone!! They help balance Nature!!🐺👍

[@jackbusby9602]

There are at least a few in Mississippi. I visited with my brother this week, and he showed me pictures from his trail cam. And they weren't coyotes - they were wolves.

[@TSDHGUHL]

There are far more than 700 wolves in Michigan, and the locals hate them.

[@Robert-n4p1g]

We have red wolf's in louisiana southwest in the state I have seen one well deer hunting in allen parish

[@silentvoiceinthedark5665]

You forgot FL, there is a red wolf population there

[@michaelgomez3044]

And black wolves (Native FL subspecies) are thought to exist deep in the Everglades.

[@charlieharper4975]

They were viewed as a threat to livestock. They still are.

[@garywoods4227]

I saw a northern timber wolf in WV

[@LordTrav12]

So do wolves eat feral pigs?

[@thecaptain6994]

We have ranch in the Sawtooths Wilderness in Idaho. It has been in the family for five generations. It is now extremely rare to see an elk on our property. We see wolves regularly. I much preferred the elk. There has been no improvement in the balance of the ecosystem. It is now out of balance. No elk. Lots of wolves. A sad state of affairs indeed.

[@nategwinn9058]

Yeah, that’s because the elk behave like elk now instead of acting like cattle. Moron.

[@jacobsukovaty520]

That's probably because they moved on to a different place to graze which is normal they are needed for balance you people make me laugh 😂 you clearly don't know how nature works.

​@jacobsukovaty520 you clearly don't either.

[@mikebacherl2490]

Cattlemen do "fear" what Wolves can do to their herds, especially when they are giving birth to young! Why couldn't States try to increase Wolves' food supply so they won't hurt the Cattleman's "bottom line"? An increase in small game might, possibly, be an answer. Increase rabbits, squirrels, turkey, pheasants, quail, etc.. These may provide enough food for wolves that cattleherds can remain relatively unharmed! An increase in deer herds might work, but competition for grass pastures will increase!

[@georgevan2589]

There are programs for ranchers to get reimbursed for wolf predation of their cattle. I don't know about mountain lion and bear predation. Of course many ranchers try to keep elk and deer numbers high so they can sell more hunting packages.

[@dennistate5953]

Supporting small game means habitat enhancement management which hosts myriad benefits for wildlife & humans.

[@michaelgomez3044]

That's ridiculous and is not going to happen. The land can only support a certain amount of animals. And wolf reintroduction has proven to benefit the environment. Wolf presence drives the elk into hiding in upper elevations and they don't overgraze the lowlands. Trees are actually starting to come back because of wolves.

[@AlanZablocki]

why not northern Maine/New Hampshire?

[@jamesjohnston4160]

Grey wolves/timberwolves sometimes cross over into Maine from Canada.. (So I’ve been told atleast..)

[@prestonhopkins9638]

I'm surprised Oklahoma wasn't on the list.

[@robertmclean9737]

Before reintroduction the last documented Grey Wolf was killed 50 miles from where I lived in WY. Was traveling 125 miles from where it was trapped to the wind river Indian reservation killing live stock. Had a toe missing on his front foot left a distinct track.

I have several wolf's on game camera's from all over the state of Utah. I'm 💯 sure that the state has several hundred wolf's. But I'm 💯 sure that the numbers in this video are very low. 10 in Colorado haha what a joke.

[@luckynutts5237]

I thought oklahoma had wolves?

[@JaneJackson-pw9ve]

BRING THEM BACK!!! A wolf has always been my favorite animal.They have such a completely well organized and disciplined social structure it's unreal.It's almost military precision yhat makes human society look like a bunch of chaotic,airheaded incompetent neanderthals who can't get anything right.But wolves operate on teamwork.Amd there is no I in the word"team"and these bruisers are willing to die to save thel life of one of their packmates. That's how fiercely loyal to each other they are.I wish the majority of us,at least,would be.

[@kentheisen62]

Well Jane Jackson I’m from Minnesota I also like the wolfs BUT just like any animal they have to be controlled drive around northern Minnesota and look at all the missing dog signs put up you don’t think these dogs just ran away from home do you some dogs are being killed as they are being walked by there owners how would you like to see your dog being tore apart right in front of your eyes

Coyote numbers as well.

Then tou can be like the arrowhead of Minnesota where there are almost are no deer. License purchases in that area of the state or down 85%. I agree they will bring the deer population down but wolf populations also need to be controlled imo

Why don't you come and get some of these "cute puppies"? I saw a wolf in Yellowstone years before they forced the kidnapped wolves from Canada on us. They would have come back if people had left them alone. I was at my buddies place when he had to go get some of his calves to save them from he wolves. Hamburger is way better than ground wolf.

[@RichardKaufman-u5n]

What is the love affair with wolves about, anyway? Guilt from people who don’t live with them. In Alaska that is almost completely an urban sentiment, away from there wolves are still regarded as a species that needs management like any other.

Not in the real world. In Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan wolves take 4 out of every 10,000 livestock. There have been NO attacks on humans in any 3 states in recorded history and each state loses between 2 and 12 pets out of estimated 80,000+ per state - almost all, of which, could have been avoided by bringing pets in at night or not letting them run off a leash through areas where there are wolves.
