WY: Wyoming conflict between wolves, livestock up sharply

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — Federal officials say the number of conflicts between wolves and livestock in Wyoming is up sharply.

Wildlife managers say wolf-killed sheep and cattle have been found in the Upper Gros Ventre area, in the Salt and Wyoming ranges and other areas of the state.

The number of wolves killed last year was the second highest in the state since they were reintroduced to the Northern Rockies 21 years ago.

This year, the number of kills already has exceeded the 54 kills for all of last year.

The Jackson Hole News and Guide reports (http://tinyurl.com/glezqjp ) the problems will increase in late summer and fall when pups have grown and demand lots of food, trying to put on fat for the winter.
