These wolf populations will annihilate the elk, deer and sheep populations.

For not being an expert sounds like you got it right...
They have also migrated to OR, WA, and Utah. A researcher in Yellowstone has noted they are killling the Lions and other predators for sport and/or competition reduction. In one incident a female and three sub-adults were killed. Talk about a rodent, skunk, bunny, porcupine, etc. population explosion down the road.
The only exception is the Mexican Gray Wolf program in Arizona/New Mexico that has been going on since the mid-90's, though that could change as well. As of 2010 there where 50 with 2 breeding pairs.
Makes you wonder what the hell they were thinking or weren't...
