Actually, our neighbors to the north have a pretty good idea how it's going to turn out. Big game is going to take a hit, no ands, ifs, or buts about it.
Only 30-50 wolves and that in turns into a few hundred in a few short years. You're right, the CDOW hands are tied. Years of litigation will happen before anyone is allowed to start trying to regulate the wolf numbers. It's a train wreck coming to Colo. and the ranchers livestock and wildlife will pay the ultimate price.
