Default RE: Wolves might be introduced into Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado!

Maybe they'll intorduce them for hunting only?
Last year alone female wolf from one of the Yellowstone packswas killed by a car on I-70 west from Denver. That is in the middle of Colorado, not by the Wy border. Alone wolf was spotted in Park county (more south from I-70)and several alone wolfs were spotted throughout northern parts of Colorado bordering WY.
They are moving in, like it or not.
Can we live together, ranchers, hunters, elk, wolf? On a posters andbrochures for tourists probably yes. In reality, Colorado battle forand against wolfs already started with public meetings and wolfs spottings. Second stage is this talk about intorduction, 'return' or however you want to call it. Third stagewill bebattle with ranchers and hunters and intorduction itself. Experimental introduction, which we all know ends up being the real thing.
I would not mind hunting extra elk in order to minimize intentional intorduction of wolfs, and I bet most of os hunters would not either. If they move in on their own, that is another issue, but intentional introduction to RMNP will not work, I can assure you and guarantee that ranchers and hunters od Colorado will preven that.
