Colorado Parks and Wildlife has released this year’s Colorado Gray Wolf Annual Report. A link to it is on our website. It’s for April 1 last year through the end of March this year, so it does not include the recent killings of livestock by wolves in Pitkin County. But it does list the 15 new wolves released from British Columbia in January, and the five wolves that died during that time frame.
