I'd love to see one in the wild someday... for now I'll have to settle for my velcro dog lolSomewhat off topic...I was just in Whistler the last week and a half for work, and I was driving between Whistler and Pemberton just after dark. I saw a very large canine run across the forest road in front of me with another set of eyes waiting just below the trail. I couldn't tell if it was a coyote, so I shared the story that night with a local at a restaurant. He said there have been TONS of gray wolf sightings in the area the last few weeks and was betting that's what it was. The area is truly stunning, and I saw a bear, lots of golden and bald eagles, deer, and other creatures, with the wolf being my fav (from the comfort of a vehicle of course).
The wolves are moving. This map is based on evidence of wolf activity in water sheds, so they haven't covered the whole purple area, but have been to each watershed inside the purple area.
Looks like they are probably venturing into WY and coming nearly to Boulder County. Just a matter of time before they clash with humans and are killed or do the killing themselves.
Note: all 10 wolves have GPS trackers but they won't release the data publicly.

Was it this guy?I saw a black one up in Wyoming years ago. Was pretty impressive.
Also had a HUGE one walk up to my house in Divide in 2020. Turned out to be an escapee from a wolf sanctuary. My son and I got a kick out of it. Not something you get to see every day.
