I think it may actually be higher from a study I read that was done in the U.P. They claimed it was actually more like 30-50 deer/wolf annually. http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,1607,7-15 ... --,00.html
1 deer/week and you can see what kind of damage that could do to the herd over time. Honestly I don't think the DNR will have problems selling wolf tags no matter what the price is.
this may be the ratio for coyote?
