Colorado range riders

[Iowafarmer]

Colorado has hired 12 range riders to protect over 600000 cow/calf pairs from wolves!! Is that a joke or what?? Unless they’re carrying rifles I can’t think they’re gunna have any affect most likely just show up at a ranch after confirmed wolf kills. I don’t think 120 range riders could cover the territory these wolves do. It would be interesting to know how many body guards polis has protecting him and his “wife “

Well, if the range riders have up to date information from CPW on where the wolves are at it could be slightly effective. If not it's a waste of time and money.

At the rate the wolves are running out of Colorado and dying, this will be a short lived employment.

The range riders don’t go where the wolves are, only where the cattle are

Everything about this entire boondoggle is/was a waste of money. But......you can't fix stupid.

Yep, not that hard to understand.
They could work but just haze them into Wyoming instead !!

The state is doing everything it can to keep the new ballot measure to get the wolves out and stop stocking them (it was ok'd by the state to start collecting signatures to get it on the next ballot) in Colorado.

What are they getting paid?
Just another waist of our tax payer money.

Heck ya, I'll be a range rider all summer......as long as they let me pick which unit I get to ride. Lots of cattle in my hunting units.

Range riding is actually a very effective method.

Another wolf just bit the dust in the Park…
The whole thing is just so ridiculous.
Capture cow killing wolves, and drop them in the middle of cow country.

Sounds like a riding job with little to no work involved in some beautiful country. There will be no shortage of applicants
