In the early 1900’s, the loss of habitat and extermination programs led to the gray wolf’s demise. Wolves have once roamed all over the country.

Hunters back then thought they were helping the deer and elk by killing the wolf, its main predator. They were wrong. A 30 year project to restore the wolf population was made, and the wolves made an amazing recovery. The wolves are…

My location that I chose was St Elmo, an abandoned town. It was abandoned for the mining use of it it “dried up.” So it no longer allowed for any more much use.

When Leopold wrote: "I now suspect that just as a deer herd lives in mortal fear of its wolves, so does a mountain live in mortal fear of its deer.” he was referring to how the deer were a predator to the mountain just as the wolves were predator to the deer. Once humans had killed most of the wolves around the mountain there wasn’t a good control on the deer population. The deer population was eating the majority of edible plants and trees. The balance of nature keeps most populations in check…

History of the Grey Wolf Historically, the range of the grey wolf was spread across the majority of North America but was hunted to extinction in the lower 48 states by 1974.

Reintroduction started in Yellowstone in 1995 and 1996 with an initial population of 66 wolves which has grown into a population of 1,000 in 2006. Wolves are social amongst themselves, but typically…

Introduction: Mule Deer once thrived in Western Nebraska, but now their population has gone down due to hunting, predators, and disease. Many people take for granted the wildlife that we have. Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) once roamed the western United States in the millions (Holechek et al 1982). When the first white man came in the early 1800’s, the number drastically declined. The reason for this is partially due to the Tragedy of the Commons. The tragedy of the commons in early 1800’s…
