Saw the article also. Not much info. Wolves be wolves and go where they want I guess.

Wandering Colorado wolves are likely to die in Wyoming because they wander across the state line into our predator zone. As many of you know, Wyoming has protected, trophy, and predator zones for wolves, and that seems like a reasonable plan for proactive management to me.

We have, I suspect, about 400 wolves in Wyoming. The last report I saw said 300 plus but that was a 2023 count. Montana is said to have about 1000 and wants to kill 500. That seems like a very reasonable proposal.

Colorado seems intent on cutting its own throat with ill thought out policies for management and unrealistic expectations for things like “biodiversity.”

Good info. I agree what Colorado is doing doesn't make sense to me. Sounds like WY and MT have good strategies for managing wolves and protecting big game resources.

Even the wolves want into Wyoming where there’s more freedom.

Every time I see one of these I get warm and fuzzy

I’d imagine not a lot of wolves make it through the snowy range.

You might be surprised. Damn tough animals to kill. That said, we try pretty hard.

FWIW

Group looking to end wolf reintroduction in Colorado fails to collect enough signatures for 2026 ballot measure

Coloradans for Smart Wolf Policy needed 125,000 signatures, but called the 25,000-plus it collected a “running start” if it decides to try again next year
