Id like to smack 125 lb black coyote while calling. Would Dow even care? Would you report it?
Do not shoot them in Colorado they are still protected. We have two sub-species of Gray's one is large and coming down from the North and the small ones coming up from the south. So unless you are in danger do not shoot them, they are protect still in Colorado and the state and fed Dow will fine you big time and then lock you up.
If it was up to me I would kill all the 100-150lb wolves (second largest in the world) that have come down from Yellow stone they have are not true wolf they have 2-3% domestic in them. They do not fit in are eco system ,but I would leave the small one 45-75lb Mexican blue wolves alone they fit the eco system.
If it was up to me there would be no Hybrid wolves, why have a dog that you can't fully trust.
I figure if there not bothering me,no worries. On the other hand I have a mountain lion that keeps killing deer, rabbits and whatever else it can within 25-100 yards of my house. The DOW just told me to shoot it.
