Well, it now looks like we will soon have wolves living in close proximity to us. By us, I mean all of Western Colorado. If not by their own migratory instincts, then by the well-meaning (?) folks on the Front Range who can simply outvote us.<\/p>\n

Of course at the same time, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is about to start culling (killing) male bears and mountain lions in order to save and help our mule deer population survive and thrive.<\/p>\n

Are you just messing with us?<\/p>\n

These new neighbors (wolves) are going to go through these herds of mule deer and elk, and big horn sheep, and mountain goats, and moose, dogs, etc, like wasting disease, hunting, road kill, etc. couldn\u2019t begin to. And then wolves will live here, forever!?<\/p>\n

But the good news is, Parks and Wildlife won\u2019t have to go out and \u201ccull\u201d the herds. Instead they will soon be trying to \u201dcull\u201d the wolves, presumably out of aircraft.<\/p>\n

And yes, this is a NIMBY issue \u2014 for us all.<\/p>\n

So while wolves don\u2019t have Ikon Passes, they do have big and small game licences (year round)!<\/p>\n

Please, let\u2019s try to keep these new neighbors out of here, and vote against the reintroduction of wolves.<\/p>\n
