At least one of Colorado’s collared wolves moved deeper into the northwest corner of the state in July, a new map released by state wildlife officials shows.
The wolf or wolves traveled broadly in Moffat County, from watersheds near the Wyoming border to the dry, rolling hills northwest of Craig along U.S. 40, according to the monthly map released Wednesday by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. At least one wolf was also present west of Meeker and north of Rifle.
Otherwise, the state’s wolves primarily remained in the central and northern mountains between June 24 and July 22, including in areas around Steamboat Springs, Vail, Leadville, Salida and Aspen. At least one wolf was active in the mountains north of Durango during the period.
The new map comes as CPW continues to monitor for new pups from the state’s three new packs: the One Ear pack in Jackson County, the King Mountain pack in Routt County and the Three Creeks pack in Rio Blanco County.
The Routt County pack produced at least four new pups, and the state’s already-established pack, the Copper Creek pack, produced an unknown number of pups this spring, CPW officials previously said.
CPW’s monthly maps show which watersheds at least one wolf traveled in during the previous month.
On Wednesday, CPW also released the results of investigations into the deaths of two wolves in the reintroduction program in the spring.
