Ranchers press CWD officials for answers in daylong summit on wolves

By Marianne Goodland | Colorado Politics Jeff Davis, director of Colorado Parks and Wildlife, walked into something of a wolf's den on Saturday. Nearly 100 people — ranchers, state and local elected officials, conflict resolution specialists, nonprofit staffers from pro-wolf groups, outfitters, media and representatives of the wildlife agency — traveled to the ranch of Don and Kim Gittleson, just north of Walden, to talk about the issue that has consumed people's energies particularly after the state officially introduced wolves in December.

Johnson: CPW needs to act so producers know what is allowable to protect livestock from wolves
