A Colorado ranch hand working the busy calving season took matters into his own hands when wolves moved in on cows and their calves, firing two warning shots before a third shot killed the wolf, according to the ranch owner.
Susan Nottingham, who owns the sprawling Nottingham Ranch in Eagle and Routt counties in western Colorado, told the Coloradoan in an interview June 1 the shooting occurred March 10 on the ranch’s calving grounds.

Long before wolves became symbols of wilderness preservation and Yellowstone tourism, they were viewed across Wyoming as enemies to the state predators blamed for killing livestock, thinning game herds and threatening the fragile economy that sustained ranch families across the West.
More than a century ago, private bounty clubs, ranchers and government agents all took part in a long campaign to reduce, and eventually eliminate, wolves from the Wyoming landscape. For decades, they were hunted, trapped and poisoned for cash rewards.

One critically endangered species that calls North Carolina home now has five more members. Three male and two female red wolf pups were born this month at the Museum of Life and Science in Durham. Red wolves once thrived across the Southeast but now number only about 300 total, in the wild and in captivity.
One part of eastern North Carolina is the only confirmed place where the wolves live in the wild. To talk more about red wolves, I’m joined now by Katerina Ramos. She’s the red wolf education and outreach coordinator with the North Carolina Wildlife Federation.

An outbreak of canine distemper virus that left the wolf population at its lowest point in 20 years has brought increased interest in and scrutiny of wolf hunting in Wyoming.
That much was evident last week at a May 26 public meeting in Jackson to discuss the proposed season.

June 2, 2026 – The federal 10(j) rule, which Colorado has, allows ranchers and livestock owners to shoot and kill wolves caught in the act of attacking livestock, working dogs, or to protect human life and that law is about to be put to the test. The results have the attention of ranchers across the West who deal with depredations.

For wolves in Yellowstone, it’s all about survival, and sometimes that doesn’t leave much room for niceness – pack members sometimes put the smack-down on each other, just to maintain order.
There can be a “constant rivalry among pack members” and only dominant breeding wolves are rarely, if ever challenged, biologist Robert Crabtree told Cowboy State Daily.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has called off plans to kill a wolf in northern Stevens County after trying without success for a week. No cows or calves were attacked by wolves during the week. Fish and Wildlife said it will consider restarting the lethal-removal operation if depredations resume.
Wolves killed one calf and injured two others in the Aladdin Valley over two days, May 17-18, according to the department. Several packs are in the valley.

From Democrata.es:
Cantabria has approved from this Monday, June 1, and until December 31 a maximum extraction limit of wolves of 30 animals. However, if once this limit is reached, “significant damages” continue to occur due to their magnitude, reiteration, or concentration in time or space, the regional government could authorize “exceptional controls”.
The International Wolf Center uses science-based education to teach and inspire the world about wolves, their ecology, and the wolf-human relationship.
