Wolf tracks in central CO

[Gman]

Wolves in Colorado are a hot topic that many of us like to discuss. Why wouldn't we be interested in where they are? When you say "central" Colorado, that make me think of somewhere like Tabernash, where I'd have assumed it'd be more North.

Why so shady about the whole thing? It's not like it's your wolf. It's a public resource that belongs to everyone. We all live here and are curious what they are getting up to.

I don't get the secrecy thing, either. Obviously the range finder is a certain brand and certain model with maybe other specific identifying characteristics. That should be enough for the real owner to easily be able to identify it to your satisfaction, regardless of whether he/she knows the general area where it was found.

The wolf aspect is far more interesting than the range finder and I'd also like to know more about it.

I have no idea how you came up with a conclusion that I am taking "ownership" of this wolf. The only reason, as I've stated numerous times, why I didn't disclose the exact location of the track was because I was offering to reunite someone with their valuable gear and I didn't want to be bothered by those trying to take advantage of that. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.

Don't share something on a public forum if you're not actually going to share. Seems like a childish game of "I know something you don't know." You could have easily disassociated the range finder from the wolf.

The odds that the owner of the range finder is a participant here is also unlikely.

So instead of putting the range finder in a lost and found section and on Craigslist to promote better exposure to returning the precious little rangefinder, you’ve added it to the hunting sub forum embedded in a post about wolf tracks and then want to be secretive about the whole thing like you are going to give away your hunting spot. Which I’m going to guess either sucks, you failed to find anything but a track, or you don’t want to share a story of a successful father-son hunt in the successful hunting thread. I’m going to pick a combination of 1&2 out of those three choices.
As I said before, you are a bit of a tool. So either correct that and enlighten us where your precious “wolf” track was at or stop posting and wasting our time with useless information. It’s also a bit insulting you come into this site and automatically assume guys from this forum are going to bombard you with guesses and location of a range finder to take advantage of the situation. Show a little respect.

Posting one thread about finding a range finder in an undisclosed GMU and then my next thread says, "Hey guys, look at these tracks I found in GMU XX" doesn't make a lot of sense. How much location detail does the forum really need? 100 mile radius? 50? 10 feet? Perhaps make an actual argument why this is valuable instead of just saying, "bbbbbut, we wanna know!" and "you're a childish tool because you won't tell us!"

You're probably correct, but I have had several guys ask about it.

Good suggestion on Craiglist. I'll do that.

And since you asked, I'm not trying to hide the location of some sweet hunting spot. Out of the 10 hunters we met in the area none saw a live elk. It was my first time hunting that area and I doubt I'll go back. My son and I did have a great time though.

Well, this thread has run it's course. We've all been trolled, well done. Part yourself on the back.

See everyone in a non-potato thread.

I think I’m just going to Rick Roll myself. That’s the only thing missing in this worthless thread. Im positive that wolf died of boredom hanging around the OPs camp.
I’m out as well Irving.

If your idea of "Central" is really North Central everyone I know in Steamboat that spends time in the woods knows that wolves range from Rabbit Ears up north through the Mt Zirkel Wilderness area and occasionally are heard in the Flattops area. They all hear them at night while camping. I would assume they travel east of there in to the Walden area as well and wouldn't doubt if they travel south along Rabbit Ears or south East out of the Flattops down in to the Gore Range area on occasion. No big secret..

Now in my mind Central Colorado is I70 South through Summit down to Salida and the Collegiate Peaks to the West and East to the Front Range.
