"CPW Probes Suspected Wolf Depredation in Grand County"
Colorado Parks and Wildlife confirmed the first wolf depredation on livestock in Grand County since the reintroduction of gray wolves in December. A dead calf with wounds consistent with wolf depredation was found, and the livestock producer is eligible for fair market value compensation. The state's wolf restoration and management plan outlines protocols for investigating and compensating for wolf depredation, as well as providing non-lethal deterrents for livestock owners. CPW will continue reintroducing wolves over the next few years and monitoring the population's self-sustainability, while also addressing human-wolf conflicts through a dedicated wolf conflict coordinator and supply houses for prevention materials.
