Pack hunting methods range from surprise attacks to long-lasting chases, though wolves often do not attempt the latter.[29] Through meticulous cooperation, a pack of wolves is able to pursue large prey for several hours before relenting, though the success rate of such chases is rather low. Smaller species of wolves are more solitary depend more on smaller animals, capturing them by pouncing and pinning them to the ground with their front paws— a common technique among canids such as foxes and coyotes.
Kyllä, Susi Voi jahdata saalista, mutta harvemmin viitsii, koska yritys menee lähes aina puihin.
Saalsitaa pienriistaa.

The relationship between humans and wolves has had a very long and turbulent history. Traditionally, humans have viewed wolves negatively, perceiving them to be dangerous or as nuisances to be destroyed, a perception now known to be extremely undeserved.

Historically, disproportionate fear of the wolf has been responsible for most of the trouble the species has received, including why it was nearly hunted out of existence in the U.S. and Europe prior to the 20th century. However, ecological research conducted during the 20th century shed new light on wolves and other predators, specifically with regard to the critical role they play in maintaining the ecosystems to which they belong. As a result of this and other important factors, wolves have come to be viewed in a much more positive way.

As long as there is enough prey, wolves seem to avoid taking livestock, often ignoring them entirely.[36] However, some wolves or packs can specialize in hunting livestock once the behavior is learned despite natural prey abundance. In such situations, sheep are usually the most vulnerable, but horses and cattle are also at risk. Wolf-secure fences, relocation where applicable, and local wolf extermination are the only known methods to effectively stop livestock predation.

In some areas across the world, hunters or state officials will hunt wolves from helicopters or light planes to control populations (or for sport in some instances), citing it as the most effective way to control wolf numbers, given that traditional poisons are largely banned. The method is used where interactions between livestock and wolves are common, or where sport or subsistence hunters desire more game animals with less competition. Aerial hunting is seen as highly controversial. In areas where aerial hunting is used to limit livestock-wolf interactions or to boost populations of game animals, arguments against it are usually centered around whether or not the reasons behind such predator elimination are scientifically valid.

Wolves are frequently trapped, in the areas where it is legal, using snares or leg hold traps. The economic value of wolf pelts is limited, so it is mainly a recreation activity.

Wolves are built for stamina, possessing features tailored for long-distance travel. Narrow chests and powerful backs and legs contribute to the wolf's proficiency for efficient locomotion. They are capable of covering several miles trotting at about a 10 km/h (6 mph) pace, though they have been known to reach speeds approaching 65 km/h (40 mph) during a chase (wolves only run fast when testing potential prey).[8] While sprinting thus, wolves can cover up to 5 meters (16 feet) per bound.[9]

Voi vain kuvitella kuinka paljon niitä oli metsissä, jos tien ylittäjiäkin oli niin paljon.
Metsähallituksen mukaan viime vuonna oli n.200 sutta kuten voitte todeta tältä sivustolta:
