The impact is whatever the wolves want. Management is most likely out of Colorado's hands now that the wolves are restoring themselves. Colorado had the chance to restore wolves on their own terms, but they chose to wait for the yuppies to force the issue through ballot initiative or the wolves to restore themselves and be protected under the ESA.
It's going to be interesting if the wolf ballot initiative passes. The feds may say no, Colorado can't introduce wolves when there is already a naturally occurring, breeding pack (assuming the pack will successfully breed) that is protected under the ESA.
