There are wolves in the eagles nest, the fish and game won't deny it. Also if there are wolves on this ranch and people think they are going to stay there and not move into other areas your kidding youself. Not good for CO in my opinion. Look at what the elk herds in idaho have done since the reinterduction of wolves.

In 2003, My dad was hunting Cow elk in GMU 66 during 4th season. I went along for the ride. I remember there was a bunch of snow and it was in the negative teens for a few days. We had spent most of the day in the northern part of the unit and with no luck, decided to move and hunt near Lake City. We took the Alpine Loop out of Lake City and after a few miles, we were no longer able to drive. We hopped out of the truck and began walking. Our tire and foot tracks were the only ones in the snow. Long story short, as we're walking on the north side of Henson Creek, we were accompanied by two very large canines on the south side. They were not frightened of us. They seemed to walk and stop as we did and they watched very intently. They were too large to be coyotes or domestic dogs. One was charcoal color and one was black/gray. Hopefully there is someone else that could substantiate my claim. I know CO DOW has refused to admit there may be wolves in that country. Who knows, maybe they were the biggest coyotes ever with really nice winter coats!

That story is over 5 years old. They never did have any test positive for DNA. Those articles are all from the 2010 time frame and were meant and written to fight de-listing. I just hope we can count on WY and Utah and Idaho to shoot em all first!
Then we can pick off the few that straggle in...

According to the below site, a wolf was shot near Kremmling several weeks ago.

I talked to someone close to the situation and the powers that be are not letting them talk about it. It seems they want official confirmation and a unified statement prior to talking. Honestly, due to the politically charged nature of this topic, do you blame them?
I was also told the DNA analysis is not to determine if it is a coyote or wolf; it is to determine if it is hybrid or a wolf of wild decent. Obviously the result will produce a very different response. I hope this helps.

I like how they use the term "just visiting the state". Like wolves frequently take vactations to different places, but never move there for any lengthy period of time.
In my opinion, if you see one, you are only seeing a very small % of the number that are actually there.
I have talked to several outfitters in WY that have simply closed shop because they can no longer support their families because they can no longer find any quality bulls for their clients.
This will be the same fate for any state/area that holds a pack of wolves for any sustained period of time.
These wolves are born killers, period. They will devastate the elk herds and then move on to the next one. This is an economic travesty and one that affects many people and their livelihoods. I realize the wolf lovers could care less about that fact, but it's sad that such a small group of activists could produce such a devastating impact on our wildlife.
I talked to a guy from USU who worked with researchers who tracked and monitored the wolves, and he said they tracked one wolf that made it from Yellowstone Park all the way to NY in one week. So, if you think they are just confined to a handful of states, you are fooling yourself. He also said that wolves never stay still for more than an hour or two, so if those monitoring them see that they have not moved at all after that amount of time, they go looking for them.
His advice - "gut shoot em'".
