Colorado Parks and Wildlife has suspended its efforts for lethal removal of an uncollared wolf in Rio Blanco County. That wolf had met the agency’s definition for chronic depredation in the amount of animals it was responsible for killing, in a certain amount of time. CPW searched from Jan. 24 through Feb. 22 using drones and thermal imaging and couldn’t find it.
