   I have to disagree with that.  This last season some wolves moved into
   one of our hunting areas in Northern Minnesota.  We saw 10 deer on
   opening day, 2 deer and a set of wolf tracks on Sunday morning (BTW
   one of the deer was running from a swamp for no apparent reason??),
   more wolf tracks on Monday and nary a deer for the rest of the season.
   Fortunately, we have other land to hunt and we filled up.  The other
   hunters we know who stayed went 1 for 6.

   About 10 years ago, one of the last times I hunted there before
   moving, I saw 38 deer the first weekend.  That is an incredible number
   for MN whitetail.  The next weekend all we saw were a few sets of wolf
   tracks.

I don't see what wolves have to do with this scenario.  It is quite
typical for deer to wise up and not be seen after opening weekend.
Why do you suspect otherwise?  Do you think the wolves ate all of the
38 deer you saw on opeing weekend?

   Just my few bits worth on a favorite subject.

   I own guns, I hunt, I drive a motorcycle, I believe there is a God.
   I expect my freedom to do those things will disappear in that order.

This is a great .sig.  Unfortunately, I think your predictions are
correct.  At least, I think it will take quite a while for them to
happen.
