Colorado has implemented a statewide suspension on the issue of 30-day trapping permits.⁠ ⁠ The decision coincides with the Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s announcement that a female gray wolf died in May “due to an apparent secondary trauma from a lawful foothold trap used for coyote control.” Another gray wolf died in April due to wounds from an apparent mountain lion attack in Rocky Mountain National Park, which was confirmed in the same statement. Both females were from the batch of wolves transplanted from British Columbia to Colorado in January. The trapper who discovered the wolf in their trap notified CPW on May 14. State wildlife officials responded and released the wolf from the trap, according to CPW’s Wednesday press release, but the wolf’s GPS collar transmitted a mortality signal the next day.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #colorado #wolves #wolf #graywolf #graywolves #conservation #trapping #outdoors #nature #habitat #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Jim Peaco / nati...
