Colorado Parks and Wildlife has a map of two large areas where it could release wolves. The maps come from research, which included precinct-level voting data.
CPW said Friday it has reached a one-year agreement with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildfire to receive up to 10 wolves.said Friday it has found its first source for gray wolves after voters decided in 2020 to reintroduce the species into the wild.
Curt Melcher, director of the Oregon wildlife department, said the wolves will come from the northeast part of the state where they are most abundant and their removal will not impact conservation goals. Animals with major injuries will not be chosen for reintroduction. That includes wolves with several broken canines, missing eyes, fractured or missing limbs, mange or lice infection. CPW also said it will make an effort to transplant wolves that have not been involved in repeated depredation incidents.
"CPW will aim to capture and reintroduce an equal number of males and females," Odell said."We anticipate that the majority of animals will be in the 1- to 5-year-old range, which is the age that animals would typically disperse from the pack they were born in.”
