Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Colorado Wolves

A man I knew had a bad feral hog problem,
and finally had to resort to putting things in
chunks of meat to kill some of the more
elusive ones

Woops- sorry, I just now saw that this
was about problem canines and not
problem swine

With a bit of luck, the wolves will settle in Grand River Ranches, and those homeowners can enjoy the sight of their 'Fiffe' dogs becoming lunch.

Last I saw, the big game units around Kremmling were the only ones that were at 'herd objective' for Mule Deer in the entire State.

Rocky Mountain National Park should have been the release site, but I guess seeing an elk getting ripped apart on someone's front lawn in Estes Park might make the good people of the Front Range second guess their votes.

Sounds like something a idiot would do. sooner later they get caught.

Just curious Saddlesore is that a typo or are you privy to different information. Everything I've seen says that there were 5 released yesterday. Also curious about your map. When they say Grand County, Radium SWA is the largest parcel of state land which is what they were relegated to for release.

Thanks.

A phone can't ping towers it can't reach but it takes much less energy to get a ping than establish a solid cell contact.

Roads into and out of poor cell coverage can make a list of persons who have visited an area during a time period.

I am not suggesting any course of action but being able to blame the failure of the Wolf Reintroduction on blood thirsty hunters would make for great story lines in the Rocky Mtn News and the Denver Post.

LHS. I mistook a press release that showed Snowmass/Aspen.

rocky mtn news?.....

You made me go look.

I been up here in WY for a while.

Wyoming love you.

I was hoping for Boulder lol

Could be,but I only saw four crates

To forestall any conspiracy theories I re-watched the video. There are 5 clearly, individually marked crates-CPW-2, 3, 6, 7 and 8.

And clearly 5 different wolves released at that location.

wolves will go where fresh red meat is easy to kill ,once that area is low of easy prey they will move again. no such thing as wolves will settle . good luck ,Pete53

This time of year a "pack" has to "settle" and established a territory to raise the young at a den site.

Juvenile wolves, like those CO dumped, will indeed travel far and wide.

It's been posted ( I don't know it for a fact) here those were hoodlum juvies who were involved in killing livestock. That's why Oregon was willing to give them to Colorado.



While I would never break any laws I damn sure would never take a chance when mother nature might just fix the problem.

There will be a huge spotlight on those 5 wuffs. Be smart.

2 more released at diff location.

"Helicopter gunships" worked pretty well here in Alaska in places, but of course PETA et al gave it bad press... Expensive too - especially if you set fire to one while refueling....

Short of poison, choppers are the most effective (if expensive) way of culling wolves. Far better than fixed wing. PETA claimed it wasn't "fair chase". That's once they were right about anything!


And the money poured in....
