Wyoming resident here. We actually do have a “zombie moose” problem and its persistence is in part due to a lack of wolves. No, I am not kidding.
Fuck I didn’t know moose and elk were susceptible to cwd
Not your state, but this dummy… https://www.cpr.org/2024/04/30/boebert-bill-to-remove-grey-wolf-from-endangered-species-list-passes-house/
What’s up with these percentages? How could these possibly be known? You would have to know how much the animal weighed before hand and have control over a lot of variables.
And they cited Reddit…

I am struggling to imagine a lone wolf killing an adult moose. A juvenile or elderly/sick one maybe. Unless it managed to hamstring it real early on it just seems implausible
A wolf is a lot bigger than you think, also, they have greater agility over a moose id reckon
Sure, but moosen are like 15 foot tall multi ton kaiju with bone spikes and an attitude problem. Ive been to wolf sanctuaries and I understand wolf size, but it’s not in the same league
A møøse once bit my sister.
She was carving her initials øn it
Attack of the Zombie Moose, truly a Canadian horror story.
TIL there is a Highlander moose and one brave wolf keeping it at bay.
But wait, if a lone wolf gets 53% of the moose, but a pack of six gets 83% of the moose, then per-wolf that’s 13.8% of the moose. Why would an individual opt to hunt in a pack then?
Zombie moose scary…
