The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a reward for information after determining that a male wolf that died last summer after it was captured for killing livestock had been shot before it

A necropsy found that a reintroduced wolf, which had died shortly after it was captured as part of the Copper Creek Pack relocation effort, had a gunshot wound, which led to its death.

Colorado Park and Wildlife captured the animal last summer after it repeatedly preyed on livestock at a ranch near Kremmling.
