DENVER — Three of Colorado’s few gray wolves might have been killed just across the border in Wyoming, state wildlife officials confirmed.
Travis Duncan, a spokesman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, confirmed that three “sub-adult” female wolves had been “legally harvested” in Wyoming, where hunting the predators is legal. Parks and Wildlife first heard of the killings, first reported by the Fort Collins Coloradoan, on Oct. 14, he said.
At the moment, Duncan couldn’t say for sure whether the wolves came from the pack living in north-central Colorado’s North Park. He added that members of the pack commonly traveled between Colorado and Wyoming.
