All of the 10 gray wolves released in Colorado in December as part of the restoration plan have remained in the state and have not preyed on livestock as of Wednesday morning, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) announced during a CPW Commission meeting.
Reid DeWalt, CPW's assistant director of aquatic, terrestrial, and natural resources, presented an update on the wolf reintroduction effort during the CPW Commission meeting on Wednesday, which was virtual due to a major upcoming winter storm. As part of the state's voter-mandated reintroduction effort, CPW released its first five gray wolves on Dec. 18, 2023 at an undisclosed place in Grand County. Five more were released a few days later in Grand and Summit counties. All 10 were collared. The state secured an additional 15 from tribal lands in northeastern Washington to reintroduce next winter. This is all in the wake of the May 2023 approval of the Colorado Wolf Restoration and Management Plan. On Wednesday morning, DeWalt told the CPW Commission that about three months have passed since the gray wolves were released. Since then, and as of Wednesday, all of the wolves are still in Colorado and appear to be doing well. While they are moving around, they have mostly stayed around the areas where they were released, DeWalt said. moar |

So, how many Moose, Elk and Deer have they killed? Since up to 70% yer killed last winter and they cut tags in half there shouldn't be many left. What a state this has become.

The issue of the definition of chronic depredation, which is tied to both the wolves released in Colorado, which had a history of being in packs that killed livestock, as well as wolves that have come down into Jackson County form Wyoming, also surfaced on Thursday. The agency has yet to define the term, which is critical to determining when wolves are chronically killing livestock and whether those wolves can be killed. That's particularly an issue for Jackson County, where rancher Don Gittleson has seen wolves attack and kill his livestock and working dogs. Gittleson has pleaded with CPW for help, but the agency has done nothing, other than to recommend he use non-lethal methods for defending his livestock, which he has said does not work. link "Wyoming" wolves are killing livestock |
