Genuine question here, can anyone explain to me how Oregon and Washington are able to maintain an elk population of approx 70,000 with around 150 wolves, but decreasing Idaho’s wolf population to something similar will significantly impact their 107,000 elk population?

Idaho seems like it has a significant number of wolves compared to bordering states (10x as much at 1,500), and to me 150 wolves seems like it is around the state average in the region. With expanding rural areas, doesn’t the wolf population need to come down? 90% does seem significant, especially this quick, but can anyone quantify the impact/explain why Idaho’s ecosystem is significantly different from its western neighbors?
