Time to dispel some myths about the size of gray wolves. While all gray wolves in North America are the same species, they do vary in size depending on location. Wolves in the Rockies average roughly 90-100lbs, with the largest individuals weighing in around 130-140lbs. Wolves in the Midwest and Southwest are smaller, averaging 70-80lbs. So why the discrepancy? It’s not because they’re different wolves. They’re not. Rather it’s because of Bergmann’s rule, which states that animals of similar species tend to be larger at higher latitudes and in colder climates. This rule holds true for all sorts of animals, including elk, moose, penguins, and yes, even wolves! ![]()

We live in a time of profit management of wildlife in the once-wild West. Several fish and game agencies have deserted the guiding principle of stewardship for fish, wildlife and our quality of life. Instead, steered by legislatures, they have made it their mission to eradicate predators and make money from them at the same time to placate ranchers, to provide he-man killing opportunities and to provide plenty of trophy elk and deer for profiteering outfitters.![]()

State agencies use cherry-picked science or none at all to make decisions that support trophy hunting and trapping interests, while ignoring the vast majority of nonconsumptive users who enjoy wildlife viewing and recreation. Efforts to allow broader interests to contribute to agencies have been back-seated repeatedly in order to maintain the status quo control over wildlife.![]()

Today wolves are strictly protected in Europe, and even protected in China. It will happen in Montana, even in Idaho. It will take all of us, but it will happen.
