Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Colorado Wolf Re-Intro Areas

That's better but not the same as Wyoming's Predator Zone.

No licence, no season, night hunting, spring den hunting, aircraft , baits is what has stopped packs from getting established in the Wyoming Predator zone and migrating breeding pack south into Colorado or East into the WY Bighorns.

On June 30, 2020, a Colorado Parks and Wildlife officer and two federal special agents visited all three wolf kill sites in Wyoming. They confirmed their positions, and the reported kill sites, by matching trees with trees they could see in the background of photos one of the wolf hunters posted on Facebook.

The investigation began on a Colorado biologist’s suspicion that one of the wolves reportedly killed in Wyoming had actually been killed south of the state line. When the biologist inquired with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, the agency “refused to share” wolf harvest information.

Once the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service got involved, Wyoming did turn over wolf harvest records for four animals killed near the state line. Although there are few rules and licenses aren’t necessary, wolves killed in the predator zone must be reported within 10 days. The outfitter and his son both reported their kills within three days or less.

Game and Fish also obtained DNA samples from the animals, according to large carnivore supervisor Dan Thompson. The samples, however, were not analyzed in a way that provides any insight as to where the short-lived wolf pack in northwest Colorado and southwest Wyoming originated, he said.

The outfitter told WyoFile that a special agent told him the investigation wasn’t going anywhere early on in 2020.

Wolves aren't a means of controlling game numbers. They're a means to eliminate hunting entirely by reducing game animals to such low levels that hunting will have to be stopped. This whole thing is a long term plan by the anti-hunters. They made mistakes in the early states like Idaho in that wolves got removed from the endangered list and became game animals themselves. They learned from their mistakes and it won't happen in CO.

Yep.

I had to laugh reading that article.... it's like they actually believed the wolves would stay within the units they were released in.... only liberals could be that stupid

Here on the 24hrcampfire nearly twenty years ago a F&G biologist from Alaska told us that the new biologist/game manager entering the field were not hunters,nor did they view hunting as a tool. Now those twatwaffles are running things.
