Jim Cunningham of Chetek, a deer hunter for 30 years, splits his time each fall between land near his home and farther north near Mason. Through time spent in tree stands, walking the land and in images on trail cameras, he says he's convinced the predator population is higher than ever and significantly impacting the deer herd.
"I see 50 wolf tracks for every one deer track," Cunningham said. "The wolves have changed our hunt."

I am going to have to get out my abacus and run some numbers on this one.
There are 550 wolves and 1.5 million deer. Wolves really have that great an impact?
How many deer does each wolf eat per day?
