Fig. 2 in Evaluating the principles of wildlife conservation: a case study of wolf (Canis lupus) hunting in Michigan, United States

Fig. 2.—Verified instances of wolves killing cattle (depredations) in Michigan, 1996–2013. The solid line indicates losses from throughout the geographic range of wolves in Michigan, excluding losses that occurred on 1 farm. The dashed line is the additional losses attributable to that 1 farm, where poor animal husbandry likely increased the risk of depredations (see "Characterizing the Problems"). The number of depredations declined considerably just prior to the planning and implementation of Michigan's 1st wolf hunt in 2013. Source: Michigan Department of Natural Resources (May 2014).
