Colorado Parks & Wildlife Confirms First Gray Wolf Pack Sighting In The State Since 1930’s

Colorado Parks & Wildlife officials are confirming that they have additional evidence that a group of wolves is now residing in northwest Colorado. This marks the second indication that wolves have returned to the area this month.
On January 19th, CPW wildlife officers investigated the discovery of an animal carcass surrounded by large wolf-like tracks in the northwest corner of Moffat County. While conducting their investigation in the field, they made an attempt to locate the wolves. In their search, they heard distinct howls in the area. Officers used binoculars to observe approximately six wolves about two miles from the location, which is promising news.
Sadly, the New Mexico Game Commission approved the trapping of bobcats, foxes, and other fur-bearing species throughout the state, putting endangered Mexican Gray Wolves at risk of extinction, as well as disappointing wildlife and public-safety advocates who sought to ban a practice long-criticized as cruel, inhumane, and indiscriminate.
