I don't doubt it.
I was talking to a rancher over in the Fairfield area a few weeks ago, and he had a good take on the wolf issue. He's had cattle taken down by wolves, and he's a hunter, so he hates them. But he's absolutely against the hunt. He wants them all killed (don't get him wrong), but he believes the legal hunt will actually add more protection to them. Whereas before the wolves were pretty bold, stupid, and easy to shoot, after the hunt has been on for a few years they'll become more cunning, stealthy, night-marauding s.o.b.'s - and almost impossible to find.
