If the wolves are where the snow gets deep enough to slow the elk down and there are maintained roads in the area then the wolves will stay very healthy and have large litters since the energy expended to run down an elk is much less than in roadless areas. Oil and gas have been a great friend of the wolf.We’ve already seen a change where elk and deer have been wintering than in years past - just based on the amount of sheds we aren’t finding

Different pack in Laramie River the ranchers have seen grey colored wolves there. The North Park pack is all black all 8 of them.I was poking around on YouTube and found this random guy's video; he was hiking West Branch / Camp Lake trail a week ago and mentions around the 14:30 timestamp seeing two large wolves up there. So they've definitely come into Laramie River drainage and aren't just hanging Walden anymore
