Thank you!
Well, hunting wolves, or any highly social animals living in packs/families, can always have a devastating impact since it's usually not selective at all. For example, you might destabilize the whole pack if you kill the alphas/parents... but anyways, I have no doubt that they wouldn't mind if their actions even eradicated wolves in the area. "Controlling" predator populations like this is imprudent and probably rather serving other interests than what biologists might have in mind...

I suppose they're just going to be gun touters, so they wouldn't understand which wolves held which position,
If they had an expert in the field, then maybe they could be directed to pick off the weaker or older wolves low down in the pack, just to reduce pack size, especially if those wolves were sick or on the verge of being pushed out.
it's still cruel and unneeded though.
