JACKSON, Wyoming — State wildlife managers nearly wiped out a wolf pack that roams primarily in Grand Teton National Park and the National Elk Refuge because it was feeding on livestock.
Eleven wolves from the Lower Gros Ventre (grow- vawnt’) Pack were killed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department on private land last May.
According to agency reports, two wolves in the pack remained at the end of the year.
Game and Fish wolf program biologist Ken Mills tells the Jackson Hole News & Guide (http://bit.ly/1hh3VCv ) that the pack was accustomed to feeding on cattle.
The report also noted that among nearly a dozen wolf packs in the Jackson Hole area, one small pack formed and two others disappeared altogether.
However, it says Jackson Hole’s wolf packs grew in overall numbers.
