More reason to stop with the silly reintroduction conversation. I'll admit, I think it's kinda cool to see this, just hope to the gods that CPW gets to control them.

Be interesting to see if the wolves stick around.

 

[madtom]

No one will have opinions about this.

I hope the pack sticks around and takes away any traction the "forced reintroduction" supporters have, going to be some interesting debates at the state level about this I think.

I would think having plenty of food, and no competition would be desirable, but I dont know shite about wolf biology.

I hope so as well, best option we have at this point I believe.

Another woof thread! Just in time, shot my last limit of big Montana honks for the season, let me put my decoys away and get some popcorn.

Better apply for elk in CO this year...elk hunting will be done and over with in 2 years.

I know, I reluctantly posted this. Thought that since it was something new, it may spark some new conversation. I'll surely be disappointed

Maybe if we talk enough about how elk hunting is bound to be in the dumpster from here on out, we can thin out the number of NRs in a year or two.

I think this will become more common. Will probably hear about a lot of sightings before the voting begins. They always turned a blind eye or denied in the past but something tells me all sightings will now have an attempted verification by Cpw and hit the news in order to give the ballot box biology the smallest footing possible.

I believe that CPW denied prior sightings to keep the feds out of their business. Just my suspicion

Why not a few wolves in Condorado? The state has no pucker factor whatsoever.

If I was a hunter in CO I would be excited to have wolves in the state. Can you imagine how embarrassing it is right now to not get an elk in CO? What do you blame it on? You can't swing a dead cat in that state without hitting TWO elk. I can see it now. 3 months into reintroduction " WOLF TRACKS ALL OVER AND NOT AN ELK IN SITE [sic]"

 

[Bigjay73]

Well that's a new take on things

Never been to Pueblo, huh?

 

[rjthehunter]

Heck the wolves

 

[Sytes]

Fixed it for you.

Elk in CO: Elk hunting will incredibly flourish and CWD will be naturally managed with in 2 years!

That’s my thought too, I have a pic of a single black wolf in eagle county over ten years ago, before they even admitted we had wolves that would travel through. Warden told me it was a dog. I’ll try to track down the pic but it was 100 percent wolf.

I lived there for 6 years, I only found one discarded murder weapon in the river while fly fishing and I only knew two people who found dead bodies...
