General Areas Inhabited by Gray Wolves in Colorado – February Update
By Dave Shaffer
Above is an updated map published today by Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s showing where collared wolves have been in the past 35 days. This map was created using GPS collar data collected from all collared wolves in Colorado.
Notable movements
This wolf collar data shows that two wolves traveled broadly in the last month from western Routt County into eastern Moffat County.
For comparison, below is the map for the previous month.
About the GPS collar data
- Currently, the collars are programmed to record a position every four hours.
- Once four locations have been recorded, the packet of four locations is then transmitted via satellite to CPW biologists.
- The frequency of both position recording and transmission of the data can be delayed by a number of factors such as dense cloud cover, closed terrain, etc.
- By looking at the data, CPW staff can learn where wolves have been, but they cannot tell where wolves are at a current point in time, nor can they predict where the wolves will go.
- To protect the wolves, specific GPS data will not be shared.
