Jackson County rancher Don Gittleson says he’s had another wolf attack of a calf on his property Wednesday. Colorado Parks and Wildlife went out to the ranch and we are waiting for confirmation. We have also asked CPW to confirm if the 10(J) Rule of lethal management can be used for the two Jackson County wolves, that are responsible for the deaths of three dogs, three sheep, and multiple head of cattle. Don Gittleson also asked CPW to implement lethal management.
Gittleson says he’s hoping the calf can recover from her injuries. He has been treating her with antibiotics, and anti-inflammatories for the pain and swelling.
