Gents, Those who make the choices, are having a meeting about the future introduction of possibly 2 subspecies of wolves in Colorado, on Jan 13-14. This is pressure, emails, petitions and politics from OUTSIDE Colorado moving this forward. Help us out, send an email stating you choose option 2, NO introduction/re-introduction of any wolf species in CO to: dnr_cpwcommission state.co.us We all saw what happened in ID, MT and WY, and the increasing problems everywhere else. Lets make our voices heard this time!

GGRRrrrrr! The bastards just can't leave things alone. I bet that a wolf and a coyote look the same thru a rifle scope...

Be careful what you ask for because you just may get it someday.

CO will have all the wolves they need all too soon. ID has nicely seeded WA, OR and other states. The Yellowstone pack hasn't exactly stayed put. They're prolific and mobile.

Wolves have likely already reintroduced themselves.

I have been told by someone who should know that wolf scat has been collected in Brown's Park. Identified by DNA, not "expert" eyeballing.

You guys realize there is a big difference between some wolves moving in (that hopefully get the SSS treatment) and entire PACKS being introduced at the same time, in several places, right? Those will be more acknowledged wolves ON TOP of the "incidental" wolves that moved in.
Either way, as it stands they voted, narrowly, on action 2, to not introduce them. Still can happen by legislature.

I would use caution on the SSS treatment. Some of them dogs have hidden tracking devices.
We now have a pack in our elk area and the USFWS was up to some shady sheit tracking them during our hunting season.

Lets make our voices heard this time! There are real world choices: Fist Choice; don't allow Colorado to introduce wolves, then have a breeding pair show up in Colorado, which will automatically be classified as endangered or threatened, have the Feds take over management of wolves and everything that will go with it. Second Choice; allow Colorado to introduce wolves under our own management plan, keeping the Feds out of it, and having virtually full control over how wolves are managed. First choice is quite possible, and as time goes on increasingly likely. Second choice is the method Colorado used to head off Federal listing and retain complete management control of another large predator currently residing in Colorado. Do you know what that predator is? Casey

Bingo--and it saved everybody a whole lot of headaches. The USFWS was so thrilled for Colorado to take that particular headache off their hands they GAVE Colorado $250k to help defray the costs of reintroduction. Granted, wolf restoration would not be so simple as lynx...... Casey

I live not far from the Colo. line in air miles.. One of the gals that lives up the creek that I often hunt coyotes on said they have seen a black one up there.. She kind of blew it off to begin with, but she and her family have spotted it..

this is an urban legend. I've collared a fair number of wolves, and there is no such device. Only collars and GPS collars that give off the location,usually in12 hour intervals. Wolves can have pit tags put I them, but those have to be scanned from about a foot away, with something like a grocery scanner. They give the age, date, and location of the capture. No magic voodoo devices.

this is an urban legend. I call BS. How can you have an urban legend in Wyoming?
