Wolves are a big issue here as well. Out of control in most Montanan's eyes.

Colour me a little confused DFF, everything I've heard is pretty much the opposite of everything you're saying. And that's not a shot at you, as what I've heard could very well be off/outdated.
As an example, I'm pretty sure a few years ago I read that that a whole bunch of Wolves were being brought to Montana from Alberta because of a severe shortage?
Also, the only thing I've ever read about Bears in Alberta that doesn't suggest that they're numbers are either unsustainable or that their survival as a species is very fragile and they must be protected is that one recently that only suggested that "maybe" grizzly numbers are higher than we thought and that they will be looking into it.
