DE BEQUE - Wolf advocates are celebrating the return of wolves to Colorado after biologists for a recreational ranch northwest of here recently announced a pack may have taken up residence.
But that same prospect has sparked fear in neighboring ranchers and outfitters.
It has also generated a lot of skepticism from ranchers and wildlife experts.
"I have ridden that area and hunted lions in that area, and I have not seen any signs nor have I heard them at night," said outfitter and ranch hand Brian Bivins, who previously lived in wolf country in Idaho and saw many wolves there.
