The recent footprints have as yet been "officially" been deemed Wolf. Could be just someones pet gone bad,hybrid. We'll see.
RMNP is still trying to come to grips with it's over population of Elk herd that's eating itself out of house and home. It's crazy how the tree huggers get so excited about a hunter humanely harvesting an elk, yet shout with glee with the sighting of predators like a wolf that tear it's prey apart. I suppose they should make rules of engagement for the wolves to follow so they select only the weak, sick or ugly elk and not the majestic 7x7's. Of course, I guess you could just shoot the sighted animal to positively determine if it is a wolf or not. Anyone seen Bigfoot? Time may or may not tell.
