LOCAL NEWS: Wildlife officials are eyeing Ouray County for the next release of gray wolves in southwest Colorado, reports the Ouray County Plaindealer. Officials say the plan is to help fulfill a mandate from voters to re-establish a self-sustaining population of the animals in the state. Colorado Parks and Wildlife aims to release up to 15 wolves in the region. The agency will potentially source the wolves from British Columbia and relocate them to the region sometime in December or January. According to reporting, one possible drop off point is Billy Creek State Wildlife Area off County Road 2 and U.S. Highway 550 in northern Ouray County, which includes more than 5,400 acres along the Uncompahgre River corridor.
