Deer populations would increase, leading to widespread overgrazing problems.
Wolves suppress large herbivores by predation and by changing their behavior (where and when they feed). Removing wolves lets deer/elk numbers and browsing pressure rise, which causes declines in willows, aspens and other plants and triggers broader ecosystem impacts.
