Wolves in Colorado

[Hoof]

Just talked to a buddy that swears he saw a wolf while in the Canon City area.

He has hunted coyotes, so I am prone to believe him.

Migrating from WY or released from an eco-terrorist?

Shoot it. The DOW says there are not wolves in Colorado. You can't get in trouble for shooting something that doesn't exist.

Don't believe everything you hear...

I would contact DOW before shooting the animal. Unless its harassing wildlife.

Unless its harassing wildlife.

Unless it's harassing livestock, why shoot it at all, DOW or otherwise?

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Yes I'm sorry live stock. Thank you for the correction.

I swear I saw a wolf down near the Conejos river, about at the border of CO and NM. I was watching a herd of elk grazing, near dusk, when they suddenly turned and ran in to the trees, followed by a rather large animal. They were probably 3/400 yards off, but the predator chasing them was much too large to be a yote.

A local fishing guide said he thought there were Mexican wolves in the area, but I can't find any confirmed sightings.

Someone last year posted a photo on 14ers.com of a wolverine that they'd photographed here in CO, which theoretically don't exist here....but they had the photo, clear as day, and no reason to try and pull a hoax. Wyoming isn't all that far away in terms of wolves, and they have legs that can cover distance well.
