According to this Wiki map, in North America you'll only find free-ranging wolves in Alaska, Canada, and a few wilderness spots in the U.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wolf_distr.gif Alaska sure has 'em! I hear them howl some nights, and they ate all but the head of one of our dogs some years back. Aerial hunting is very controversial. We vote on it now and then. http://www.alaskalegislature.com/stories/021104/wildlife.shtml Nov 01 07, 7:37 PM

This is definitive, not anecdotal: "Population There are an estimated 7,000 to 11,200 wolves in Alaska and more than 5,000 in the lower 48 states. Around the world there are an estimated 200,000 in 57 countries, compared to up to 2 million in earlier times. Range Wolves were once common throughout all of North America but were killed in most areas of the United States by the mid 1930s. Today their range has been reduced to Canada and the following portions of the United States: Alaska, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Mexican wolves are found in New Mexico and Arizona. Thanks to the reintroduction of wolves in 1995, Yellowstone National Park is one of the most favored places to see and hear wolves in the native habitat." http://www.defenders.org/wildlife_and_habitat/wildlife/gray_wolf.php Nov 02 07, 12:17 AM
