CPW kills elusive uncollared wolf in Routt County believed responsible for 10 depredation events since 2025
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) lethally removed an uncollared wolf linked to 10 confirmed depredation events involving 22 sheep since 2025. The wolf, originally from the Copper Creek Pack, was responsible for attacks in Rio Blanco and Routt Counties, with non-lethal measures previously attempted. This marks the second wolf killed since Colorado's voter-mandated reintroduction program began in 2023.
