Colorado Parks and Wildlife has killed a lone, uncollared wolf believed to be responsible for 10 confirmed depredation events since the summer of 2025, the agency announced Saturday.
Officials said video evidence showed the wolf — originally a member of the Copper Creek Pack — was the same elusive wolf responsible for depredations in Rio Blanco County in 2025 and early 2026. Officials had made several previous attempts to “lethally remove” the wolf, but were unsuccessful and eventually called off the effort.

A recent report on Wyoming’s wolves is drawing attention to a longstanding belief among some Americans that wolves in the Cowboy State are significantly bigger than gray wolves in other parts of the Lower 48.
WyoFile, which recently explored this topic with key wolf biologists, noted a conspiracy theory that Canadian “superwolves” translocated from Alberta and B.C. to Yellowstone and Idaho years ago were a “bigger, invasive species” than the wolves extirpated from the Lower 48 during colonization. That’s simply not true, experts say — superwolves aren’t a thing.
