Moose meat tastes good to both wolves and men. To many wolves eating moose 365 days of the year 24/7,isn't as cruel on moose as man hunting moose for a few months of the year. The hunt is about maintaining balance that protects both species from boom & bust cycles and using conservation methodology to keep the balance. One must also remember that arrows & bullets are the only humane solution for exercising culls that kill individuals out of a species but in so doing create a healthier species balance.

I wonder how the moose and caribou managed to survive before humans were able to step in (or fly in) with their aircraft and high-powered rifles to protect them from the wolves.

I am no wildlife biologist, but it would seem plausible to me that the number of predators in a given area would be limited by the number of prey available, and not the other way around.
