Colorado went through with it. They voted to actively establish wolves in the Colorado wilderness by a very narrow margin. Now what? What are the ramifications of this decision?

Both David and Patrick have watched the wolf issue unfold in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana and provide insights from lived experience.
