Colorado relocating wolves.

[Dakota79]

Yep, it's the bottom half of those bullet points that people don't think about, stress on a herd is always going to negatively affect weight and successful pregnancies, which are also massive parts of the value equation, it's not just about the dead cows reported on the news here and there...not like our Dear Leader and his cronies care about any of that though...

One more thing I would like to add is the loss of genetics. For example if a rancher had an aggressive artificial insemination program in the herd some of those females could be worth a lot more or even impossible to replace depending on the sire.

You said back door fisting at the governors mansion. Sorry I laughed out loud.

Funny thing is I re wrote it twice to avoid an innuendo and clearly didn’t think through my final edit lol

Yep. It appears she works for Western Watersheds Project, another anti-hunting, anti-agriculture organization that has lots of political power in Colorado.

The wolf lobby in Colorado is very wealthy with tons of political influence in the Governor’s office and likely any future Governor. The budget aspect does make it more interesting as the general assembly is facing major deficit this session.

The gov’s husband is a huge wolf advocate. I do not see the next gov being as pro wolf.

The second to be found with a gunshot wound.

Make no mistake. At some point those ranchers are going to take matters into their own hands. They aren’t going to suffer losses because Denver voted for wolves.

Already happening.

Interesting, I distinctly remember that the first reporting on the dead wolf months ago said that at least one of those wolves had a gunshot wound that likely predated the original Colorado release, so from wherever it was originally captured, sounds like they've changed the narrative a bit...

This is easily predictable. As you mention, look at other states to see what happened there. Wolf predation, elk number drop, OTC going away = going to be very difficult to draw a tag.

Montana told u colorado. No wolves.

Meanwhile on the front range. Would CPW be so accommodating to visiting woofs?
