The exact number of predators removed from the preserve between 1907 and 1939 is not specified, but more than 100,000 wolves were killed by bounty hunters in Wyoming and Montana from the late 1880s until the mid-1900s, significantly impacting ecosystems.
The context given highlights the significant reduction in wolf populations in Wyoming and Montana from the late 1880s until the mid-1900s when bounty hunters killed more than 100,000 wolves. This decline led to wolves being classified as an endangered species by the 1970s. The reintroduction of wolves to the Yellowstone ecosystem was a measure to combat the consequences of this removal, such as the overpopulation and ecological impact of browsing elk on young aspens. Understanding these historical conservation struggles, including the fluctuating numbers of large predators like wolves, offers insight into the complexities of wildlife management and conservation efforts.

Over 100,000 wolves were removed from the ecosystems in Wyoming and Montana between the late 1880s and the mid-1900s, severely impacting the ecology of these regions. This predator removal led to the overpopulation of elk and subsequent ecological imbalances. Conservation efforts in recent decades have focused on reintroducing wolves to restore these damaged ecosystems.
