Biggest objection for me is the total lack of any iota of management. Plus they are now pushing to ban all cat hunting in the state, will really help our ungulates im sure… but any development into wild places tends to Jack up herd health, I will add that oil and gas pads, once they are in have less impact than say adding 100 miles of mountain bike trails like they are trying to do outside of steamboat… the constant unrelenting, hiking, biking, and backpacking, peak bagging, ect are far more detrimental long term to animals than something that maybe gets a truck on a road once a day
recreation is definitely an impact, no doubt about that. but i dont think the impact on elk from O&G activity boils down to once a day road use. interesting study linked from Wyoming below indicating 43-50% habitat loss from O&G development.
Trust me that there are wolves in 61/62 I’ve seen them more than once in 61.
I hope the cattlemen prevail. I think it will be determined by the political leanings by the judge that hears the case, sorry to say.Hope it worksLivestock associations sue Colorado, U.S. Fish and Wildlife to delay gray wolf reintroduction
The Colorado Cattlemen’s Association and Gunnison County Stockgrowers’ Association are suing Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to delay the reintroduction of gray w…www.denverpost.com
Yep I think you are right…
Hopefully we get a republican judge from the western slope who hunts and has cattle!

I hope they eat a HPBT.Just need to teach them to eat feral horses
Don’t kid yourself about desert areas. We have them in New Mexico and are expanding!!
Now that would be a match made in heaven, my question is would the crazy horse people stop the wolves or would the wolf people stand by and let all the horses get eaten. It’s a wildlife celebrity death match if I have ever seen one
So if a wolf attacks your pet, you can defend your pet right?
wishful thinking
Calling cows rats is the truth. Well done eel, well done
Some wolves taste a lot like cows...and sheep. Some taste like elk and deer.

Mean letters mean diddly squat… now if we got a lawsuit going… well with Co controlled by liberal judge so probably just more expensive diddly squat… We are in an F’n bad way
HA, I just came here to post this same thing.
Eventually they will. Rmnp would have actually been a decent spot to put them, on the east side ha
Gotta love this line:

With only 12 or so any they ran up that tab in a few months… love to know what it will look like when there are a 1000 here… welfare pups will bankrupt the cpw
They denied payment for several livestock wolf kills stating the evidence that wolves killed all the cattle was not compelling enough.
Of course they did. Otherwise every broke down old milk cow is going die by way wolf deprivation. These wolf reintroduction agreements are as worthless as a 3 dollar bill. When you open the gate, your screwed.
I have heard the old boy north of Walden in reality has like 50k outstanding in claims that are likely to not be paid, his was from the pack of that ventured over from Wyoming
This will keep happening even more I have a feeling, a few will get paid but no way they will keep up with what is about to happen in the next few years. The voices will get louder and louder but not until they get into the "wrong" read this as "RIGHT" areas and kill a pile of pets will anything matter but it will be too late. Someone mentioned moose will suffer the most, I agree with that. That has been a success story about to go backwards.

I saw that. Any yet they’re only offering a $6500 reward from the poached desert sheep down in AZ. F’n nuts.Here's how we roll around here. no local will squeal and if they do they'll regret it. I hope I find out who did it, they've got a bottle of Crown coming.
$50K reward offered for information on gray wolves killed in Oregon
Wolves are a protected species in the state and monitored under the Oregon Wolf Conservation and Management Plan.
$6500 is plenty to get most hunters to turn in an acquaintance that poached a ram.
I live on Grand Mesa Slopes and I’m wondering where you are seeing much oil and gas exploration on Grand Mesa? There’s very little. Battlement Mesa has got a bunch of gas development especially on the I-70 side.
Lol the Colorado Government.... Tell us where you see wolves, don't tell anyone else where you see wolves and by the way we aren't going to tell the public anything about where the public has told us they have seen wolves.CPW warning residents as 2 wolves move from Routt County into Moffat County
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is tracking two wolves that have made their way into Moffat County.
This is exactly what I've been saying. Any person with an ounce of common sense should be extremely pissed off about this. It's not about the wolf. It's about the liberal morons doing whatever they want to and however they want to do it. I will never understand how anyone on this site could be even remotely for this crap.
The land belongs to all, not just hunters. If the majority want wolves, which they did let it be. At least it went to a vote!
whats the name of this painting? I need to buy a print...
“Big Iron”
found it... its a print called alaska mail carrier
thank you... I found it with another name for a calendar... trying to find a print to buy and hang at the front of my house...
I don't have it in me to get into an internet dustup with you today. And I'm not angry at you and I won't call you names, at least in this post. I would at the very least hope that you might have a little different outlook if you were a Colorado resident. So many things are being changed basically overnight by the California liberal invasion.
Agree
Says the guy who doesn’t even know how to load a pack. Got it
it’s my opinion. Do you not understand that? I would love to see public land grazing go to a vote!
There is a lot of change in CO. You know it’s sad when they do a study and it correlates low calf survival in elk partially due to hikers etc.
You’re talking out your ass. I’ve contribute more hunting stories over the years than you ever will.
I’m just messing with you d. I was referring to what must be an 8 shot revolver he’s packing.
Prove it. Put up or shut up
I think he knocked a couple out with his bloody left hand.
Your memory must be as long as your pecker.
I think the issue is SS! Is for the vast majority of the lower 48 we need cows on the landscape for the majority of the population to eat meat, we get rid of ranching, then what? Is everyone going to get an elk/moose/deer a year to keep their family fed with meat all while sharing said meat with wolf and lion populations? I get it you hate cows and sheep on public lands, I am not a giant fan but I realize that I like living in a country with grocery stores with meat on the shelves
I agree, just not going to pretend like I hate on domestic stock when in reality that is what provides the most nutrient dense mass available food for the country and likely keeps everyone and his brother from hunting… maybe it would be a good thing if everyone hunted? Or maybe we would wait 15 years for a crappy tag in Co? On the bright side I think we wouldn’t have to even be talking about “un-huntable wolf populations” or bans on lions, bears, trapping, ect…
My issue is cows on winter range for mule deer, domestic sheep transferring disease to bighorns and…..stepping in cow patties while out on public land. Full disclosure we had cows on public land when we ran cows.
Yeah you should bow out. First smart thing you’ve decided to do with your life.
