Wolf tracks in central CO

[Blockhead]

While elk and deer hunting last week in central CO, my son and I found these tracks. They were found about 100 yards south of a cow elk carcass that looked like it was harvested during 1st rifle. Over the several days we walked past the carcass, you could tell something big enough to move it around was feeding on it.

The US Forest Service and Colorado Parks and Wildlife have been very interested and I've had to send pictures and geos of the tracks to three different individuals and even give a statement via phone.






BTW, I also found someone's rangefinder. If you can identify the make, model, and approximate area where you lost it, we can get it shipped back to you.

Very cool find - I have never seen any evidence of wolves in all my time here in CO.

I'm just starting to recognize spoor, and saw my first Moose (Meese) in the wild the other day, but that is very cool.

Pretty neat. Looks like a big print.

Central Colorado, pretty big area.. any nearby towns?

Yes, the towns toward the middle. Not really trying to be funny, but I didn't want to be bombarded by guys trying to get a free rangedfinder if they knew which GMU I was in.

Sounds like the I-70 corridor. Me and a wolf are going to get in it, some day.

I'm not even mad.

How about being more specific about where you found those tracks? Who cares about the range finder?

Also, I lost my fancy Fenix flashlight in unit 33 on Friday, so if you find that, let me know.

If you're concerned about your safety, PM me your hiking/hunting plans and I'll let you know if you should be a bit more vigilant.

Also, never saw your flashlight.

Did you leave it on ? Easier to find if you did
