yes as a packer 3rd generation montana the wolves are killing elk and cattle..the state is losing its elk population...and ranchers who depend on the elk hunts in winter are in trouble....tell me what animal is going to limit the wolf population considering they breed and live in packs as opposed to other preditors that are singular as hunters? it is not the old west where millions of buffalo roamed

No the number is pretty stable.

The wolves are killing the elk way too fast, elk herds are disappearing. Go to Yellowstone Park and you will not see the elk that were there 15 years ago.

@RiverBirch1967 Wapiti is in the Shawnee language. from Wapan (white) W'tiuk (rear end). Languages such as Cree, Ojibway, Miami amd Lenni Lenape are very similar to Shawnee and have cognates of Wapiti for Elk. :)

Where does Wapiti come from? I saw it on signs but no one told me where the name comes from.

The Native American Indians called the elk Wapiti, which means white deer because of its white rump.
