Colorado Parks and Wildlife must go back to the drawing board to find a new source of gray wolves for the second phase of the state’s voter-led reintroduction efforts. The move comes after their original source, the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation in Washington State, rescinded its offer to provide Colorado with wolves.

The legal dispute over Bayern’s controversial Wolf Regulation may face another extension. After the state government suffered a humiliating defeat in court on July 18th due to a procedural error rendering the regulation invalid, they have now sent the regulation for approval. It seems the Wolf Regulation will continue in effect despite all content-related criticisms.
From The Nugget Newspaper:
With the addition of at least four pups, the Metolius wolves, a pair first identified in 2021, are now six in number, possibly more. Four sets of tracks have been observed by Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) wolf biologist Aaron Bott. The average litter size is five.
Bott has thus far been unable to capture the new arrivals on trail cameras. The den is believed to be on private land in a mosaic of public and private property.
