The pre-human wolves did not have a domestic animal smorgasboard to dine on, the wolves reintroduced into the lower 48 are not the same wolf that was here originally they are a canadian wolf that are much larger and are considered an apex predator.
Parvo, distemper and other canine diseases have already wiped out certain packs of wolves in the yellowstone area and other areas and the USFW will not re-introduce wolves to those areas because certain diseases remain in the soil for years.
The folks that buy tags to hunt will quit buying tags when the deer and elk #'s get below huntable #'s. It is already happening and under current laws and acts the money collected from the Pittman Roberts Act is earmarked for wildlife agencies and that money will dry up then taxpayers will be funding everything.
Managing wolves is the logical choice.
