Want to keep deer off the roads? Bring in the wolves!

Deer have often been a problem for drivers on back roads all over the country, especially in Wisconsin. How do can this be controlled and prevented from happening? Bring gray wolves back.

Ecologist Rolf Peterson had remembered driving through a remote road covered with dead deer. He said that that had changed with the arrival of gray wolves. In a short period of time, once wolves have colonized in a colony, deer vehicle collisions go down 24%.

By bringing wolves back, deer will have to be more careful roaming everywhere. In addition, the presence of wolves being back will help control deer population. With deer dying and being fearful of wolves, people driving on those roads will have less to look out for.

With wolves being back, this will help save money indirectly. With wolves come tourism which will generate more revenue and help save money in long run. Would someone rather spend money fixing their vehicle because they hit a deer or would someone rather spend money to see wolves?

Bringing wolves back will help prevent vehicles colliding with deers and will help control the population of deer. This will ultimately save lives, cars, and money.
