Colorado Parks and Wildlife believes it will find a wolf source partner despite Wyoming, Idaho and Montana being cold on the idea.

FWP said the wolf population has dropped in the last two years, and it believes the new quota will keep wolves at a healthy and sustainable population per state law.

Officials from Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks are proposing to reduce the hunting quota for wolves statewide from 450 to 289.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks launched a new tool on Friday for the public to report sightings of sick or dead fish.
