The first full month of GPS data from 29 collared wolves translocated to Colorado has been mapped, indicating the wolves have spread toward Grand Junction and Teller County.
According to the data, wolves roamed as far as the Wyoming and Utah state lines. Several major cities are now inside the data’s watershed borders, including Vail, Grand Junction, and Aspen.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) says the wolves have not “necessarily settled” in any one area. CPW also noted the wolves’ breeding season begins around this time.
Wolf movement continues to raise concern among livestock producers, particularly after a cow was killed by wolf depredation earlier this month.
