Wolf sighting near Walden, CO!! see this!
 

I know wolves are a hot topic, so you all might be interested to see this video of what they believe is a wolf near Walden, CO. One more point of interest: last fall, a wolf was killed by a car on I-70 west of Denver near a mountain town called Idaho Springs. The wolf was wearing a Yellowstone collar! These things are "getting out"!
Go to this link for the clip.

That's pretty interesting. Walden isn't very far from here, and my cousin saw a very large dog track that looked wolf-like while he was shed hunting in the snowies a couple of months back. I wonder if that wolf made them.

Wolves are smart.
Moderateclimate, rich soil, lots of deer and elk, plenty of cow/calf & sheepoperations, and a "you can't touch'em" government!
Dinner is served, come 'n get it, take all you want, go forth and multiply....
Tell me again why this was a good idea.....

It looks like a wolf, but I don't know. Up here, no self-respecting wolf would hang around that long and be that careless. Of course, the lead flying at them might have something to do with that......

It has everything to do with it. Wolves down here don't have any reason to fear humans unless some rancher has finally had enough and he starts slinging lead. This wolf just hasn't met any of those ranchers yet. He might meet me if I see him while I'm in the area, though.;) (just kidding there are too many people watching)

These are enviro-greenie wolves, one of the most feared variants of the original grey wolf blood line originating from Hinton, Alberta....
They fear no bullets for they have the full force of the protection of the U.S. Government.

I know....
Fear this --- SSS.
A mere drop in the bucket, and at the risk of serious loss of liberty.

AlaskaMagnum, you are dead on. We just had a big article in our local paper about wolves not fearing humans here at all. Ranchers are driving out in the fields and they aren't even running away. They just sit and watch!!!

Its not illegal to shoot coyotes in colorado is it?
I would swear that it looked like a coyote to Me, and shoot it.;)

Looks like a very very very healthy coyote to me of course we done have any wolves out hear in washington state or at least that could be doug up.

I know. But if you read the press release, they tell you that the video was taken by Colorado Department of Wildlife people. They should know the difference. And I've never seen an all black Coyote.
No one knows for sure without capturing it and doing an analysis on it, but in any event, it's at least a cross or hybrid and that means a wolf was around.
My point: They are expanding their terratory well beyond the Yellowstone region!

Everyone seems to know this but the feds............

If you spend any amount of time in northern, especially northeaster Minnesoata "wolf sighted" would be answered with a shrug of the shoulders and "so what?"

My family lives square in the middle of wolf country in NE MN. They have for around 100 years. In the past 30 years the numbers have skyrocketed. In spite of the state and fed nature boys/girls best attempts to downplay the number of wolves (2000+is the number they've quoted) for years. Although, honest people who live in this part of MN know and believe there are a hell of a lot more than that. They (DNR and feds) have every reason to underestimated them, so they can continue to "study the wolves" and get truckloads of more tax dollars to "manage them".

You'll find over the years as the wolf pop. in your states grows all the non-sense the gov't "experts" (most of whom never lived in wolf territory for any length of time) come up with.

All I can say is don't expect people who know nothing of the truth about wolves and how they affect the herds of their prey and domestic animals (livestock, pets, etc.) to help you out. You've got to find a way to manage to live in such areas in spite of ignorance of most in urban areas and other parts of the country that have NO population, but who are all too willing to push their fuzzy headed views on you where you live.

Good Luck!
