The CPW is reporting that the wolves In Steam Boat Springs are have had at least three new pups. They will be protected more than a white buffalo. The plague is upon us !
Yeah just like the wolves that killed off all of the herds in Wyoming Montana and Idaho. Oh wait…The beginning of the end for Colorado Elk herds
That's the best news I've heard since I heard Biden was appointed president.The CPW is reporting that the wolves In Steam Boat Springs are have had at least three new pups. They will be protected more than a white buffalo. The plague is upon us !

Thanks NapoleonThat’s exciting news btw! Thanks for sharing!
Hey just remember a beard doesn’t hide a triple chin ?? Maybe you need to lay off the Neapolitan ice cream…Thanks Napoleon

Good thing juvenile wolves look like coyotes.
those are the wolves. the sheep are spread across the nationI say reintroduce them to Wash. DC , They can feed on our sheep there in the capital known as Senate and congressman
You don't have a choice. mtmuleyI can’t stand my neighbors dogs. I sure as heck ain’t gonna share my hunting opportunities with those land piranha’s.
You don't have a choice. mtmuley
?The safest state for a wolf is Utah. Utah hunters would be too busy adding stickers on their back window to shoot a wolf. Or they can’t see them through their crappy bushnell wannabe vortex. And of course a wolf isn’t going to stand there long when the Utah hunter is looking at himself in the mirror to make sure he looks good for the ‘gram. And if my chance the utard hunter gets behind a riflescope at a wolf he will have to take time to adjust the turrets and the wolf will run away. But lightning does strike and there’s an off chance a utard would get a shot off….and wound it. It will be found dead the next spring by a utard shed hunter and be will post it on the internet calling it a “lionkill”
Utah hunters would be the Akili Smith of the wolf hunters
You don't understand wolves. mtmuleyYou Don't Quite Understand TARDS mt!
We Understand Them Just Fine!You don't understand wolves. mtmuley
BSWe Understand Them Just Fine!
They've Been Here For Quite Some Time!
But For Some Un-Known Reason they Just Don't Over-Populate!
Imagine that!
It seems they are actively managing the few they have had.

”An 89-pound female gray wolf killed earlier this month in a strangulation snare intended for a coyote was the second wolf killed in Utah in less than a year and the third in the southern Rockies. The most recent killing occurred on or around Nov. 7 in northeastern Utah, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. The previous wolf killed in Utah was shot on Dec. 28, 2014 by a hunter who claimed he thought it was a coyote.” https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/news/press_releases/2015/wolf-11-30-2015.html
Guarantee those stats are no where near total numbers of " oops,, lol,,, kick dirt on big coyote and walk away" ???It seems they are actively managing the few they have had.

What's there to understand?You don't understand wolves. mtmuley
Understand you can't shoot your way out of wolves coming. Sounds good and makes guys feel like a badass. I live in Montana. Wolves were never reintroduced here. Not one single wolf. I remember the Montana badasses claiming just what Bess is bragging about. Gonna kill them all. Laffin. Now look at what we have as far as wolves here. See you in 10 years and how well you Utards kept them out. mtmuleyWhat's there to understand?
We had a few in my part of the state but they didn’t like it I guess they left.We Understand Them Just Fine!
They've Been Here For Quite Some Time!
But For Some Un-Known Reason they Just Don't Over-Populate!
Imagine that!
Sure is interesting that it is rare to kill a wolf in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming even when hunting them, but you guys in Utah manage to kill them all. Laffin. mtmuleyWe had a few in my part of the state but they didn’t like it I guess they left.

Good luck. mtmuleyHey mt!
I Don't Think We've Ever Killed them all!
Let's Just Say:
They Seem to be Managed...................So Far!
It'll Change in the Future I'm Sure!
Question for You mt?
We've Got em!
We've Had em!
They Just Don't seem to get outa Hand here!
You Got any Rhyme Or Reason for that?
Good luck. mtmuley
Again. Good luck. I've never been a poacher. Have at it. mtmuleySo?
Good Luck is all I Get?
I Asked you what Your Thoughts are of Why They Don't Expand in this State?
Yes!
I Believe eventually We'll Have the Same Issue You Have!
But I Asked the Question?
Again. Good luck. I've never been a poacher. Have at it. mtmuley

Yeah. Worked great in Montana.I bet the Tribe here has been killing wolves in Montana before you even knew it was coming. I'll check back in 10 years. Hell, I've been here longer than that. mtmuleyThe power of a tribe is limitless. Once they decide it has a direct impact on them, the wolf thing becomes a target for removal.
I've seen that "power" at work...
I know bess, you guys are badasses and the rest of us just F-upped. Go kill them wolves. mtmuley

Pretty funny to listen to people that cant find an elk to kill on a general tag, carry on about killing wolves.

Post up all the photo's of the general UT elk you've killed lately...oh, and the wolves you've shot...tuffie.Say the Guy That SUCKS Everything Our Government Preaches To Heart!
Carry on with your BS!
You can check back yearly. Don't tell the couple dudes who have "been keeping them in check", but they seem to be missing a few, or ammo got to expensive.
I mean one might ask, where did those naturally occurring wolves in Colorado come from? Kansas? Or possibly the neighbor to the west
From Pens to Dens: A Record Number of Mexican Wolf Pups Fostered into the Wild Fostered Mexican wolf pups advance genetic recovery effort |

PINETOP, Ariz. -- A record 22 captive-born Mexican wolf pups were placed in wild dens to be raised in the wild by their surrogate parents after another successful cross-foster season. For six years, wild Mexican wolves have been raising captive-born pups as their own, helping to boost the genetic diversity of this endangered subspecies and moving the wild population towards recovery. During April and May, nine pups were fostered into three different packs in eastern Arizona and 13 were fostered into five packs in western New Mexico. “Fostering is an outstanding example of a working private-public recovery program. Wolf recovery has to recognize the importance of meeting genetic criteria, which requires many private organizations maintaining captive wolves for release into the wild. Without this important partnership, genetic recovery would be essentially impossible,” said Jim deVos, AZGFD Mexican Wolf Coordinator. “Importantly, we are now seeing Mexican wolves that have been fostered producing litters themselves supporting the use of fostering as an effective conservation tool.” Cross-fostering is a proven method used by the Mexican Wolf Interagency Field Team (IFT) to increase genetic diversity in the wild Mexican wolf population. It involves placing genetically diverse pups that are 14 days or younger from the captive breeding population into wild dens with similarly aged pups to be raised in the wild by experienced wolves. The IFT has documented that cross-fostered pups have the same survival rate as wild-born pups in their first year of life (about 50%). “The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service remains committed to improving the health of the wild population of Mexican wolves, and cross-fostering is one of the many tools we are using to make progress in that direction,” said Allison Greenleaf, biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “To see this program continuing to have success is a true testament to the hard work of all our field staff and partners.” Five different captive-born litters provided Mexican wolf pups for fostering into the wild population. The following facilities provided pups this year:
Aerial support for this year’s operations was provided by three private organizations: LightHawk Conservation Flying and APLux and Aero Charter. In addition, Arizona Game and Fish Department provided air support to facilitate fostering efforts. “The cooperation between Arizona Game and Fish Department, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and New Mexico Department of Game and Fish has allowed another record year, allowing us to improve the genetic diversity in the wild population and gaining on the goal for genetic recovery,” said Stewart Liley, Wildlife Management Division Chief at New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. Since the beginning of the cross-fostering program, the IFT has documented a minimum of 12 cross-fostered wolves currently alive and surviving in the wild. Seven of these wolves have reached breeding age (two years old) and count toward the Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan criterion for genetic recovery of the population. Four of these cross-fostered wolves have subsequently produced pups in the wild. Pups are too young to mark when fostered, therefore only those that are recaptured can be confirmed as being alive. It is likely that other fostered pups are alive and contributing to improving the genetic diversity of the wild population and helping meet recovery criteria. The IFT will continue to monitor the packs that pups were placed in through GPS and radio telemetry signals from collars on older wolves within the pack to avoid further disturbance. Later, through remote camera observations and efforts to capture the young of the year, the IFT plans to document additional survival of cross-fostered pups. The end-of-year census for 2020 showed a minimum of 186 wild Mexican wolves in the Mexican Wolf Experimental Population Area (72 in Arizona and 114 in New Mexico). This marked a 14% increase in the population from a minimum of 163 wolves counted at the end of 2019. The IFT documented a 24% growth in the Mexican wolf population in 2019, which has nearly doubled in size over the last five years. Cross-fostering is a coordinated effort of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Arizona Game and Fish Department, New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, Bureau of Land Management, New Mexico State Lands Office, U.S. Forest Service, and the Mexican Wolf Species Survival Plan.

I know bess, you guys are badasses and the rest of us just F-upped. Go kill them wolves. mtmuley
If they're so invincible, how'd they get gone the first time? A creative shopper can still find m44s and supplies to run them I'm sure.
Curious why the mexican gray's haven't had a surge in population like other species up north have had to where it decimated an elk herd?
Maybe the protein mix in Gila elk is substandard and causes them to occasionally go sterile, or, the locals just take care of business and don't talk about it...
There is ZERO chance of those methods being approved in Colorado. I suspect there will be a low tolerance for those who choose them, not to mention the public flogging you would get.I don't think it requires landmines but hey, to each their own. I'm just saying obviously the wolf is killable and yes cyanide and a few other things were a little different but technology certainly has advanced. You have fun playing with your land mines...
Yes, m44 and cyanide.The vast majority were killed from poison
Yes, m44 and cyanide.
Everybody knows the best woof huntin is on the internet.We need wolves killed in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. When are some of you Utah badasses that are so good at killing them going to come and help out? We have way more wolves than Utah. Should be easy for you. You can stay at my house, and I'll drive. Nearest wolf pack is about three miles away from my house. At least that's how far the only one I've managed to kill was. mtmuley
Post up all the photo's of the general UT elk you've killed lately...oh, and the wolves you've shot...tuffie.
You didnt have to tell me you didn't shoot that wolf...the only thing you "shoot" is your mouth, and yourself in the foot.Take Your "WOLF LUVIN" Rhetoric Somewhere Else!
There Are Places For them!
The Western Middle States Ain't Any of Them!
Unless You Don't Care about Your Big Game Herds!
We've Still Got Utah General Bull Elk To Hunt!
It Wasn't Me that Shot This Wolf!
But You Get the Picture,Right?

Valid points. Not to mention every utard is a bragger and has to share everything they kill…Utah is a much different beast than either Idaho or Montana or Wyoming. In those three states there are great expanses of untouchable country that wolves can die of old age or more likely starvation in. Without having much dealings with man. In Utah there is a road for every tard. There is not enough country to roam without crossing roads, cabins and all other sorts of trash. So both sides, in my opinion, have valid points.
Wolves have to follow ungulates, just the way it works. When elk winter in Central Idaho, they are in much different country than any wintering elk in Utah. That I know of. That is the reason wolves will have a harder time taking hold there. Everything is too accessible for the 2 legged doushbags.
It appears he doesn’t have a clue!Maybe ss can Call BS!
He Ain't Got a F'N Clue!
Apparently no good taxidermists either….View attachment 47072
Just remember there isn’t any wolves in Utah. They are dead.
