Wolves Returning to Colorado in the Coming Year: Exciting News
Wolves haven't felt very welcome in our lovely Colorado. Way back in 1869, the folks in Colorado's government decided to offer a little reward for wolf scalps – 50 cents, to be precise. Then in 1905, the Forest Service brought in some folks to catch those wolves to make the ranchers happy. In 1915, even Congress set aside some money to eliminate wolves in the entire Western region. By the late 1920s, the federal trappers and poisoners had managed to clear out all the wolf packs we knew about in Colorado. It wasn't until 1945 that a trapper from the Fish and Wildlife Service took down the very last lone wolf in Conejos County.
