Colorado wolf slips off collar - Right after being caught

[cnelk]

And to think they want to have more collared wolves....

Sounds like a circus to me

Colorado wolf slips GPS collar just days after being captured, fitted

Colorado Parks and Wildlife said the North Park pack wolf was collared Thursday and slipped his collar Sunday.

It's those damn Duttons, I know it is.

Respect to that wolf’s escape game.

So that's what they are saying when someone blasts a wolf on their land now, ditches the wolf and tosses the collar out of their truck window or side by side on their neighbors' property. lol "They slipped the collar..."

Clever! lol

By my favorite was the person from Michigan that put the wolf GPS collar on the train headed for California back in the early 2000's. lol

Even the wolves dont want govt control lol

Listening on topic.

Putting a collar on a wolf is expensive. At one time I recall having the then-predator biologist for the State telling me how much it cost and I was stunned. Contract helicopter time is spendy, but the data gathered by the collar uploads is highly useful to biologists.

Biologist should have really "tightened the screws" on that wolf.

I had to wonder if someone helped remove the collar….

Democrats want us to leave nature alone, but they refuse to lead by example. Constantly trying to control everything, and if nature won't cooperate, they'll try to put collars on it.

Gun toting, freedom loving Democrat here. A couple things:

1. Wolf reintroduction is a bipartisan issue. Collaring animals is not a political practice, but one used by biologists around the world to help inform decisions about how best to protect natural resources, agriculture, and the wildlife itself.

2. While you’ll no doubt encounter a wide range of views from Democrats (many of which I don’t agree with,) the party platform is to protect natural resources. That by very definition means you can’t “leave them alone.”

3. I’d much prefer that we have more hunting opportunities and less competition among hunters, whether two legged or four. So I fully support collaring animals to help us ensure my kids and their kids have healthy game populations to hunt.

It was a test run to check response times...just sayin..

I don't think the word Democrat means what you think it means.

When folks stop identifying themselves by a political party things will be looking up!

Just trying to show we are a lot more alike than different fellas. Do love the Princess Bride reference.

Usually it’s a pup that they shouldn’t have collared to start with that slips one. Weird an adult came out of one.

If we kill all the imported canadian wolves we can save money??
Lets save alot of money!!

This one is easy to answer with google earth.

Look aerial pics of extreme eastern Washington and north Idaho. The watersheds are similar (Sullivan vs priest, p.o river vs the moyie). Look at logging practices....vastly different. Look at animal densities.....vastly different. Look at politics.....vastly different.

What the pic doesn't show is that you cannot ride an atv or snowmobile in 99.9% of Washington and hunting season in Idaho is measured in months vs days in Washington.

 

[Crashdoyle]

Yup!....easiest way to stop hunting is to make sure there is nothing to hunt!

At least they found the collar to reuse.
