WINTER PARK, Colo. — Colorado Parks and Wildlife is aware of one wolf den in Colorado this year, experts said during a CPW Commission meeting Thursday morning.

Currently, Colorado is home to 11 known adult wolves — nine that were introduced in December and two that moved into Colorado previously. Two of them have non-functioning collars, but they are traveling with other wolves with working collars. At three locations where the fladry was installed, DeWalt said wolves were detected within 400 yards of the flags, but there were no livestock losses during that time.

Range riders are another conflict minimization technique that can work better than fladry in some cases, particularly in forested areas. CPW has collaborated with Working Circle, a Colorado nonprofit that has demonstrated success in range riding, to learn more about this tactic and how it can be applied in Colorado. The Colorado Department of Agriculture is leading the charge with range riders.

Colorado's wolf conflict coordinator and ranchers work to find common ground Current existing regulatory language allows for CPW or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove a chronically depredating wolf, but if it does not have the resources, a rancher may be issued a permit for up to 45 days to do the same, said Travis Black, northwest region manager for CPW.

As of the current plan, this Ad Hoc Working Group will consist of four individuals representing the cattle and sheep ranching community, four representatives of wolf restoration interests and four people representing CPW and CDA.
