I think Sean McGuire got one part of the story wrong.  The "Park" wolves taken out of the Stampede corridor weren't harvested for their pelts.  The pelts really aren't worth enough to bother with.  The wolves were harvested by hunting guides, sometimes with clients in tow, to give the moose and caribou calves a break.  (Helicopters? They didn't need no stinkin' helicopters!- like ADF&G does).  Then the moose are harvested by meat and trophy hunters, some of whom hire those same guides.  The money is in the guided hunts... first for the predators and then for the prey... not in the pelts.  I wonder if wildlife photographers would pay as much to view wildlife as hunters do to harvest the same animals?  Might change the whole dynamic...
