Colorado\u2019s collared wolves primarily stuck around the state\u2019s central mountains over the past month \u2014 except for at least one wolf that roamed the state\u2019s northwest borderlands.<\/p>\n
They spent time in the corner of Colorado that borders Wyoming and Utah, a new map released Wednesday by Colorado Parks and Wildlife<\/a> shows. CPW spokesman Luke Perkins wouldn\u2019t say whether the wolf or wolves crossed the state border, citing agency policy banning staff from talking about wolf movements in other states.<\/p>\n Colorado leaders inked a deal with Utah<\/a> that allows CPW staff to retrieve a wolf that crosses its border. No such agreement exists with Wyoming. Several Colorado wolves have been shot and killed<\/a> after crossing into Colorado\u2019s northern neighbor, where it is legal to hunt wolves across much of the state.<\/p>\n Outside of the northwest corner of Colorado, wolves traveled in the central mountains and hills that stretch from Walden in the north to Pagosa Springs in the south.<\/p>\n CPW biologists last month estimated at least 45 wolves live in the state<\/a>, including 20 pups born this spring.<\/p>\n
