Wyoming: Wolves Kill 19 Elk in 'Surplus Killing' Incident

The ecological damage inflicted by wolf packs in the western region of the United States doesn't often reach the ears of hunters and outdoorsman in other portions of the country—it's a battle that's often fought quietly, if at all. News from Wyoming over the weekend, however, broke that trend. State wildlife officials from the Cowboy State announced that a pack of wolves had killed 19 elk near Bondurant, Wyo., in what they're calling a "surplus killing" incident.
