Colorado Wolf Release 12-18-23 from Colorado Parks & Wildlife on Vimeo.
In December 2023, Colorado Parks and Wildlife released 10 wolves in Grand and Summit counties after voters approved to reintroduce the animals to the state in 2020.
The state releases monthly maps showing wolf activity, tracks depredations and compensates ranchers who file a claim following a depredation.
One reintroduced wolf has died, while two others have reproduced and been named the Copper Creek pack.
