Well I don´t think 18 wolves are a realistic number about 500 in Skandinavia will be more realistic. Even this isn´t much.
The "Gesellschaft zum Schutz der Wölfe" gives money to lifestock-protecting work worldwide maybe they should get in contact with them.

And I don´t see any reasons why hunters should get any money. Following their own arguments they only want to protect the wildlife. There is no better way then to have a selection through natural predators.

Yes about 200 it is but there are only about 132-156 grovn up volves in Sweden, I do not know numbers from Norway and Finland, but here are the Swedish ones...

2004/2005 24 familys 101-109 grovn wolves
2005/2006 27-28 familys 114-124 grovn wolves
2006/2007 28-29 familys 112-129 grovn wolves
2007/2008 33-41 familys 132-156 grovn wolves

In 2008 19 litters was registred and there was about 152 wolf puppys.

I think this is god numbers

Also 3 registred wolves has past in to Sweden from Finland / Russia 2007 / 2008, but DNA tests on excerement = poo-poo will probably prove that more wolves has immigrated in from that area.
