If I'm a deer, I want to be right dead center in the white pack territory in the " no wolf" zone

In the past there was evidence of wolf packs coming together and forming one large pack.

If I were a deer in Wyoming,  I’d be humping the leg of some Californian liberal anti-hunter at their 2nd or 3rd fenced vacation compound they bought after watching Yellowstone on TV 6 times.
