There were several sightings of a Mountain lion in Louisville last summer and we get the occasional moose all the way down to Boulder.

I personally have seen some pretty big coyotes that weren't mangy looking at all. I watched one sit and clean himself in a clearing for about 5 minutes at a distance of 30 yards. I thought it was a wolf at first but it was a coyote. I know his general area and have seen him twice since. He was almost as big as a german shepard but definitely a coyote. I would say he weighs around 50 lbs but in the winter he looks bigger. Wolves and coyotes can look a lot alike. Especially on the run or if someone is all excited. I do agree though that they could be here. I doubt in LoneTree or western Arvada though. Not impossible but not likely. I would like to check these "wolves" out.

Let's use common sense. If wolves do move into Colorado let's manage them. When there populations get big enough let's hunt em. It'll be great sport just like coyote hunting. Did I mention I love predator hunting. Hey one more predator to hunt during the winter months would make my year. Hey Bill Smith I hunt with semi-automatics, single shots, recurves, long bows, bolt actions, crossbows, cedar arrows, and anything I can get my hands on. Hunting is the king of sports. The reality is GOD put the animals here for us to manage. We do a better job then mother nature could ever do. GOD gave animals instincts not mother nature. When prey animal numbers get low predators have smaller litters, and vice versa. No biologist will ever understand how this happens. I suspect their is a GOD and he designed these things to happen this way. Everything in nature was intelligently created by GOD. We are not intruders in this land. This land was given to us by GOD. Animals can live without man obviously. But GOD put them here for us to use ,and be entertained. Accept Jesus Christ into your heart and the same revelation as I do.

Just north of Colorado. The Wyoming game and fish has denied this until recently. (one of their people spotted one). These wolves are taking a toll on the deer and elk. Beware Colorado, they are heading your way. Wolves have been sighted and heard for the last seven years, by myself and others in the sierra Madres in southern Wyoming. Just north of Colorado.

It dawned on me that I had seen wolves several times while fishing out west. Last year in Yellowstone park in the northern section while fishing on the Lamar river we encountered a grey wolf standing on our path as we made our way back to our car. But surprisingly, I also saw a grey wolf on the Dolores river, north of Cortez near the town of Dolores, Colorado in 2006. My brother and I stoped along the side of the road to check out a potential fhishing spot, when to our surprise, standing on the bank of the river across the stream was a full bodied Grey Wolf. I have been an avid Trout Fisherman and small game hunter for over 35 years and have seen several "wild' animals, including Black Bear, Grizzles, Moose, Elk, Buffalo and countless coyotes. The animal we saw in Colorado was unmistakenly a Grey wolf. There is no doubt in my mind. While others may not believe that a wolf would have migrated so far south in Colorado, so soon after being reintroduced into Yellowstone, I am absolutely convinced that the animal I spotted was a wol.

I was about an hour from the trailhead head at about 5pm , had an eerie feeling and looked up to my rt and not even a 100ft away was a creamy colored huge wolf/coyote (i didn't see any others), i kept walking to see if it was following and in continued to get closer and closer (in a stalking position). i started to yell and then my dog started barking and the wolf/coyote started to howl/cry (loud, piercing cries). I took off to the water and saw the wolf/coyote pacing on the trail behind me-howling and crying for another 15 min. Eventually, it retreated. The animal looked to be very large and skinny, the size of an 70-100 lb animal. My dog and I took a long hike on a common trail around Dillon Lake in between Breck and Frisco yesterday (sunday, 5/3).

I know there is a Private Mexican Wolf Recovery just out side of Salida, CO. I have been there and seen them. What beautiful animals no matter how dangerous they may be. I have a lot of respect for any wild animal. If it wasn't for the wolves howling one night in alert I wouldn't have been alerted to the black bear close by our camp. I knew they bears were around but in the middle night I heard the wolves in the distance(We were safe in a motorhome). There is a wolf place in West Yellowstone, Idaho has a place to observe wolves and Grizzlies. There is also one just south of Rapid City, SD and you can drive among them and the bears. I think that is called "Bear Country". 2 places I recommend where you can be real close and it is NOT zoo like! Well I am thrilled to hear of the recent sightings.

It was alone and standing near the ski resort base (just past Silver Queen lift). It sat quietly and watched me walk by but did not retreat. He was a large animal who looked healthy and well fed.

It moved with unbelievable speed and strength crossing each side of the road in two bounds hitting the top of the concrete median and then climbing the mountain on the north side of the highway about 100 yards before stopping and looking back. Maybe he was being chased by a mountain lion? I saw what appeared to be a wolf crossing I-70 between Vail Pass and Eisenhower Tunnel on Saturday 1/24/09 around 4 am.
