I voted 6.  Not to argue with you bearpaw, but the wdfw gal at the local wolf meeting here said that a breeding pair can consist of 20 wolves.  120 wolves is plenty enough in my opinion, but if it were up to me there would be ZERO. ;) :twocents:

MtnMuley, everywhere you read there are different numbers given for approximate number of wolves for each breeding pair. Thanks for your info, I will revise future statements. Thanks for your input.  :)

6 bps = 120 wolves, then there is the fact that these packs have more than one litter per pack, but only the one litter is counted. what about the wolves that are not considered within a pack that are not counted, the singles, doubles and so. Adds up to a pile of wolves in a hurry.

0 should have been an option in this poll, that would have gotten my vote, I voted 6 or less.

We actually saw a wolf in the Dayton unit after dark one night.  To me that means there are alot of them already.  Start giving permits as soon as they are realeased or SSS.
