U of M study suggests humans have impacted how wolves hunt deer

That is the early conclusion of new research carried out by the University of Minnesota’s College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, in conjunction with partners including Northern Michigan University, the University of Manitoba, Voyageurs National Park and the Voyageurs Wolf Project.
