Not a "Mexican" red wolf, that's not a specie. The Red wolf only went as far as eastern Texas.

If the USFW want to stock any kind of wolf in your area , tell them HELL NO. fight them every way you can.
your deer herd will go to none existing.
when the wolves interbreed with the coyote you won't be able to shoot either one. this happened in N.C. where I live, with the RED WOLVES, it is really bad.
we would see 25 to 35 deer a morning or evening hunt, no you are lucky to see 1 deer a hunt. Forrest

If its federal land you dont have any choice, NM ranchers have been fighting them since the 90s on the mex. Greys, they tried to put them on more state lands but NM voted against it.

My Dad shot several Mexican Red Wolfs in the 60's while running a tow boat up and down the King Ranch shoreline. Wolfs were pretty hated back then and the rule was you see one you shoot that SOB. They were 100% Mexican Red Wolfs according to the old man. Not coydog's or coyotes. I even questioned him on it and he said, "son you think I'm stupid, I know the difference". I've heard of the wolves from other old timers that said they saw them down South in the 50's & 60's, but never since.

Those would be mexican grey wolves, red wolves do not or have ever existed their as their mostly on the east coast, probably just a matter of calling the same wolf by a different name.

The Red Wolf was re-introduced in '87 around North Carolina, but not in Texas. The population was at like 130 as of the 2010's..looks like a pretty yote to me.
