Colorado\u2019s gray wolves<\/a> stuck a little closer to central parts of the state in late October and November, roaming into watersheds that reach metro Denver and near tribal lands to the south, according to a map released Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The monthly Colorado Parks and Wildlife map shows the broad movements of 20 gray wolves<\/a> that wear GPS collars. If an area is highlighted, that means at least one wolf was in a watershed at least one time during the time frame, according to state officials.<\/p>\n

Between Oct. 21 and Tuesday, gray wolves traveled in watersheds that reach as far north as the Wyoming state line; as far east as Boulder, Jefferson, Adams and Broomfield counties; the northern edge of Archuleta County to the south; and Meeker in Rio Blanco County to the west.<\/p>\n

Most wolf activity appeared to take place around the Continental Divide, with wolf movement tracked near Walden, Granby, Vail, Aspen and Gunnison.<\/p>\n

The wolves also explored near tribal lands to the south, Parks and Wildlife officials said. The state has an agreement with the Southern Ute tribe and is working to finish a similar agreement with the Ute Mountain Ute tribe to address potential impacts of wolf reintroduction.<\/p>\n

Of Colorado\u2019s 20 collared gray wolves, 15 were captured elsewhere<\/a> and released in Colorado, three are yearlings from the Copper Creek Pack and two are adults from the One Ear Pack, according to Parks and Wildlife.<\/p>\n

State officials will not be able to confirm whether wolf pups born this year<\/a> were \u201csuccessfully recruited\u201d into Colorado\u2019s wolf population until later this winter, Parks and Wildlife spokesperson Luke Perkins said in a statement.\n<\/p>\n
