I walked up on a pack on a fresh elk kill last year and they all took off running.  They stayed a few hundred yards away howling because their meal was interrupted.

The dead elk?   Or the howling wolves?

It's only neat the first few times....

Why do the papers always say it like having more wolves is a good thing?

Because wolves can regulate ungulate populations and we won't need human hunting anymore.
