I have a place in the Black Hills of Wyoming where I'm sure wolves have come through. A buddy across the border in Custer, SD, caught a wolf on a trailcam last spring. Two weeks later, that same animal was shot by a rancher 7 miles away. The DNA tests confirmed that the wolf came from a pack in the Wisconsin/Minnesota area. About 3 months later, another wolf was hit by a car along the SD/NE border. If I recall correctly, that wolf came from the Greater Yellowstone area as verified by DNA tests. Colorado is a short jaunt, comparatively speaking, for a wolf from the Yellowstone area....no question they're around. But despite sightings, there are not enough wolves in Colorado (yet) to have any significant impact on any ungulate populations. One or two here, sure, but I'd venture to guess more deer and elk are hit by cars than are killed by wolves in Colorado every year. I'd just like to see one in the wild. I, personally, wouldn't shoot one unless I was in danger or losing livestock. Wolves vs elk/deer? That's the natural order of things. Wyoming, realizing the expanding numbers of wolves was impacting herd populations and taking numerous livestock, finally opened a wolf season this year in the NW part of the state. They need to be properly managed like any other species.
