Colorado lawmakers could delay gray wolf reintroduction until management agreement reached with feds

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 03:09:37 GMT

A bill from Western Slope lawmakers could push gray wolf reintroduction into next year despite the state’s long-standing plan to begin releasing them into Colorado’s wilderness by December.Colorado’s House Agriculture, Water and Natural Resources Committee on Monday approved Senate Bill 23-256, on an 11-to-2 vote, passing the measure to the entire chamber.In short, that bill would require state officials to wait until the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service grants state officials the authority to manage (in this case meaning capture, relocate or even kill) the wolves before they’re reintroduced into the wild.Because wolves are a federally protected species, state officials aren’t allowed to interact with a wolf “in any way, even if they’re attacking livestock or pets,” according to state Sen. Dylan Roberts, one of the bill’s sponsors.Authority from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service – formally called a 10(j) rule – would grant Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials the aut...

Keeler: Ugly side of Deion Sanders Effect? Angry CU Buffs parents, confused kids who felt forced into transfer portal. “They told everybody to go.”

He says he was pushed.“I couldn’t have stayed (at CU),” Page, the former Buffs and Fairview wide receiver told me Monday. “I really wanted to. They said it was just best for me to leave.”They?“It was my position coach,” Page replied.Paradise sometimes comes with a cold, callous underbelly, growling beneath the profit and glory. Hiring Deion Sanders means owning the front page. It means having ESPN at your beck and call. It means documentary cameras at every turn.It means seeing Folsom Field filled to capacity for a glorified scrimmage in April. It means full houses for as far as the eye can see. It means pride and fun and wearing Buffs black and gold with caviar dreams and a spring in your step.It also means conversations such as the one Page said he had with new CU wide receivers coach Brett Bartolone this past Sunday. The one in which it was suggested he pack up his luggage (not Louie) and move on.“T...
