Could it be CPW doesn't want hunters knowing where the wolves are? Naaaa, I'm sure it's not that.

There is a body count now of wolves on cattlemen.they are losing cattle now and more often now just recently. People cry the poor wolves! But it's not their paycheck being effected nor do they suffer the long extra hours of trying to keep their herds safe. They love them so much make them pay for the losses.

Since it was people from the cities along the front range of Colorado who vote for the reintroduction of wolves, maybe the wolves should be released just west of where they live?

People in the cities are pro wolf and tell ranchers how the wolves deserves to be there. If the wolves were in the cities eating their pets in their fenced yards they would be crying.

​@@nelsonhoward3332wolves were put almost extinct because of poachers for the fur trade you live in the wild you must have predators learn to live with them and co exist and learn and educate yourselve about wolves because its clear you know nothing about wolves except live on fear and want them gone i will say this much if you live in the wild they are gonna be there and deserve to be in their homeland humans are a disease and honestly are such a disgrace to gods word in all honesty. Ranchers are literally uneducated except for how to farm and produce meat milk and other things but lack the education about the land that was once flourishing with a 2.5 million population of wolves. Wolves balance the wild life curb the elk and deer. There would be less disease etc.. man was told by god to be his sheppard of the land we are to protect the wild life and all life while governing the land. Everything in this world is gods creation wolves included. They are very smart animals they can learn to stay away through deterrents

They work from before dawn and after dusk 7 days a week to feed our country. Fewer and fewer ranchers are sticking with it and few if any of their children are taking up the mantle. When the ranchers/farmers quit, who's going to feed us?

@@alycewich4472 ​ Well for one thing, they provide us is beef. I enjoy a good steak, but nothing is really in jeopardy here. There are still plenty of ranches even in states with wolves. Secondly, why in the name of all that is holy would they give the enemy of the wolf the exact time and whereabouts of their release? Those “shoot, shovel, shut up” psychopaths have not only pegged the rural communities as poachers, it has given people no reason to trust in them with the responsibility. Even if it’s just a few bad actors, the kind of hatred espoused by those communities disqualifies them as trustworthy stewards of the species. Besides, what would you even do with that information? Honestly, they gave you the release date, Colorado is getting wolves back, and you had 3 years to preparel! Handle it! But don't be irresponsible. Then we can all talk about where they might be dropped.

​@@alycewich4472its not because of wolves, its because of multinationals corporations monopolizing the food system and pushing out family farms. Wolves help keep deer populations in check and farmers could easily deter them with proper fencing. The state should be funding wolf deterrence aid for farmers to compensate them for the cost of managing wolves

25 of 28 calf kills beside Yellowstone were grizzly. The wolves moved in to clean up, and OF COURSE, were blamed. Even the grizzly needed their triggers to change: the moved to elk calves as lake trout killed off their spring feed of spawning brook trout.

This does seem like propaganda, since in most cases ranchers are compensated for wolf kills at a level equivalent to them selling the livestock on the market. I don't know what the rules are here in Colorado, but a fair news report would have included that. In general in the USA, the challenge for ranchers is connected with diversion of corn from fattening to ethanol used in fuel supplies, as well as increased regulation of feedlots. I would think that in Colorado, ranchers would be doing just great based on beef prices in Walmart! I wish that this article would have dealt with that. I can't imagine a handful of wolves in a state like Colorado would have any quantitative effect on ranching income.

My county used to have more sheep than any other county east of the Mississippi. Some time in the eighties someone ( no one ever took responsibility for it) introduced coyotes into my area. Now there's hardly any one raising them. We have the best market in the country for them to boot. Give it time. There are hardly any white tail deer left in Northern Michigan. It hasn't been that long since wolves were brought in.

Predators are vital to a thriving ecosystem. Way more cows die from disease than from wolf predation. There are deterrents these ranchers can utilize if they really care about their animals.

You know why more cattle die from disease then from wolves because we eliminated the wolf problem years ago in Colorado. Hard for a wolf to kill cattle when they aren't here to do it. But thankfully this issue was voted for by people that will never have to deal with them.

Jared Polis has and will continue to ruin hunting and wildlife management in the state of Colorado. Wolves were already making their way back it’s so complicated but in reality doing nothing would have been the same result. Now Jared should play god and bring grizzlys back. Judging by his body structure I don’t think he and Marlon do too much hiking.
