Wolves Make a Comeback in the Rocky Mountains

I enjoyed your article on wolves (Part I, Nov. 2). You presented a well-researched and informative piece. The issue of reintroduction of the wolf touches upon our commitment to a real natural preserve, not sanitized to serve particular economic or recreational interests.

Management of the wolves, cattle and indemnification can resolve the problems for the ranchers. Predators are often convenient targets in instances of range and stock mismanagement. Certainly, there is ample evidence that the deer and elk populations will benefit from the return of their most skillful manager, the wolf.

I look forward to sharing natural areas that belong to all of us as taxpayers and citizens with a creature that belongs there by right and logic, the wolf. His singing will enliven many a campfire.
