11. Livestock owners and their agents are authorized to use non-injurious hazing techniques when necessary to prevent or reduce injury or damages to livestock and guard animals caused by gray wolves (Canis lupus). For purposes of this rule, “livestock” is defined in § 35-1-102(6), CRS.
a. “Non-injurious hazing techniques” means the use of:
b. Hazing must be consistent with federal law. If gray wolves are on the list of federally endangered or threatened species, hazing that creates a likelihood of injury or actually injures or kills wolves is prohibited unless authorized by the Division or by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or its agents.
12. The Division may issue permits to livestock owners for intentionally injurious, non-lethal hazing of gray wolves after confirming gray wolf activity on a specific parcel of private land owned by the applicant or private or public land leased by the applicant for livestock production. The permit authorizing such activities is valid for not longer than one year and will contain additional terms and conditions, including a description of where such activities may occur. Any person who injures or kills a gray wolf must report the injury or death to the Division within 24 hours, unless impracticable, but in no event later than 72 hours. Fatal injury to wolves resulting from non-lethal hazing is prohibited.
B. Take of Nongame, Threatened or Endangered Species 1. Any person may take nongame, threatened or endangered wildlife in defense of their life or the life of other people. Any person who takes such action must report the same to the Division within 24 hours, unless impracticable, but in no event later than 72 hours.
2. All threatened or endangered fish taken by any means shall be returned unharmed to the water immediately.
3. While conducting an otherwise lawful activity, including, but not limited to, live trapping or hunting bobcat, taking action pursuant to 33-6-207, C.R.S., to protect livestock, protection of livestock through the use of guard dogs, or taking action pursuant to 33-3-106, C.R.S., to prevent death or injury to human life or livestock, a Canada lynx is:

c. accidentally injured and in the possession of the person, the Canada lynx shall be immediately delivered to the Division or taken to a licensed veterinarian for appropriate care and reported to the Division within 24 hours;
d. accidentally killed, then it shall be reported to the Division within 24 hours and the carcass shall be delivered to the Division within 3 (three) days of the report.
Any failure to provide the required notice to the Division or to deliver the injured or dead Canada lynx to the Division within the time periods allowed shall be prima facie evidence of unlawful take and possession of Canada lynx.
For the purposes of this subsection, “accidental” specifically excludes any intentional, knowing or negligent action on behalf of any person or a person’s agent or employee.
4. The Division may capture, remove, transport, release, or destroy gray wolves where necessary to protect human health or safety.
C. Intentionally Luring Gray Wolves Unless permitted by the Division, it is unlawful for any person to use an electronic call device or place any olfactory attractant with the intent to lure gray wolves (Canis lupus).
D. As used in this Chapter, the following definitions apply unless the context requires otherwise:
1. Conflict minimization measures means lawful, nonlethal materials and techniques used by owners of livestock for purposes of avoiding, minimizing, or mitigating gray wolf damage to livestock. Conflict minimization measures include hazing techniques authorized in this Chapter.
2. In the act of attacking means the actual biting, wounding, grasping, or killing of livestock or working dogs, or chasing, molesting or harassing by wolves that would indicate to a reasonable person that such biting, wounding, grasping, or killing of livestock or working dogs is likely to occur at any moment.
3. Livestock means cattle, horses, mules, burros, sheep, lambs, swine, llama, alpaca, goats and domestic bison, including hybrids with domestic cattle.
4. Livestock owner means owners of livestock, their immediate family members, agents, employees, contractors, or volunteers. A livestock owner may be an owner or lessee of private land where livestock are legally grazed or a lessee of or permittee on public land for the purposes of grazing and raising livestock.
5. Working dogs means dogs regularly used for herding or guarding livestock.
#1001 - AUTHORIZATION FOR REMOVAL, CAPTURE OR DESTRUCTION OF ENDANGERED, THREATENED, OR NONGAME GRAY WOLVES A. Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife Employees and Agents 1. Capture and relocation of nongame, endangered, or threatened gray wolves is prohibited except as carried out by the Division or its agents or by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or its agents.
B. Injurious and Lethal Take of Wolves In the Act of Attacking Livestock or Working Dogs 1. Injurious and lethal take of gray wolves by livestock owners is permitted when a wolf is observed in the act of attacking livestock or working dogs, but only in accordance with these regulations.
2. A permit is required for livestock owners to engage in injurious or lethal control of gray wolves caught in the act of attacking livestock or working dogs. (“In The Act Permits”). Take of wolves attacking a pet or hunting dog is not authorized.
3. The Division will issue a permit to a livestock owner (Permit Applicant) retroactively authorizing take of gray wolves observed in the act of attacking livestock or working dogs, provided the following conditions are met.
a. The attack on livestock or working dogs must have taken place on the Permit Applicant’s private property or on private, state, or federal lands leased for livestock grazing or production under a valid lease held by the Permit Applicant.
b. The Permit Applicant must preserve and provide evidence that the gray wolves were in the act of attacking livestock or working dogs at the time the wolves were injured or killed.
4. In order to obtain a retroactive permit from the Division, the Permit Applicant must notify the Division of injury or death to gray wolves within 24 hours of such injury or death unless impracticable, but in no event later than 72 hours after such injury or death. Wolves injured or killed under these permits will remain the property of the state.
5. The Division shall not issue any permit under this subsection #1001.B (In The Act Permits) unless the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has adopted a rule under section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act designating and providing management flexibility for a non-essential experimental population of wolves in Colorado and that rule is effective at the time of the issuance of any In The Act Permit. Further, the Division shall not issue an In the Act Permit for any act that injured or killed a wolf in violation of the Endangered Species Act and its regulations in place at the time of the act.
C. Injurious and Lethal Take of Chronically Depredating Gray Wolves 1. The Division will make the determination as to whether a situation qualifies for a Chronic Depredation Permit after considering the following factors:
a. Documented repeated depredation and harassment of the Permit Applicant’s livestock or working dogs caused by the wolf, wolves, or pack targeted;
b. Use of a variety of nonlethal conflict minimization materials and techniques;
c. Likelihood that additional and continued wolf-related depredation would continue if lethal control is or is not implemented;
d. Unintentional or intentional use of attractants that may be luring or baiting wolves to the location.
2. Consistent with state and federal law, injurious or lethal control of wolves that have engaged in confirmed depredation(s) of livestock will be conducted by state or federal agents if the Division determines lethal control of the identified wolves is appropriate under the circumstances.
3. If state and federal agencies do not have the capacity to carry out the timely implementation of the necessary lethal control measures, the Division may issue a Chronic Depredation Permit for the lethal take of wolves to a livestock owner (Permit Applicant), consistent with the conditions below. A Chronic Depredation Permit authorizes a holder to injure or kill wolves in the permit area, regardless of whether they are in the act of attacking livestock or working dogs.
a. The Permit Applicant must have suffered at least one wolf depredation of their own livestock or working dogs, and the Division must have confirmed the depredation within 30 days prior to requesting a Chronic Depredation Permit.
b. The Division must determine that the Permit Applicant employed reasonable conflict minimization techniques prior to receiving a Chronic Depredation Permit.
c. The permit may authorize lethal take of wolves only on the Permit Applicant’s private property or on private, state, or federal lands leased for livestock production under a valid lease held by the Permit Applicant.
d. The permit authorizing such activities will contain additional terms and conditions, including a limitation on how many wolves may be taken under the Permit and may, in the discretion of the Division, authorize the use of artificial light, electronic night vision equipment, electronically enhanced light-gathering optics, and thermal imaging devises.
e. A Chronic Depredation Permit is valid for a maximum of 45 days. The Division may terminate the Permit at any time once threats to livestock or working dogs have been resolved or minimized. After the initial 45 days, the Permit may be renewed at the Division’s discretion.
f. Death or injury to wolves must be reported to the Division within 24 hours unless impracticable, but in no event later than 72 hours after such death or injury.
4. The Division shall not issue any Chronic Depredation Permit under this subsection #1001.C unless the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has adopted a rule under section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act designating and providing management flexibility for a non-essential experimental population of wolves in Colorado and that rule is effective at the time of the issuance of any Chronic Depredation Permit.
D. Wolf specimen disposition 1. The entire carcass of wolves killed by private individuals for any purpose, legal or illegal will be returned to CPW and remain state property, regardless of whether the incident occurred on public or private land.
E. Chapter W-16 of these rules codifies the procedures applicable to securing authorization from the Division to injuriously or lethally take gray wolves, including retroactive authorization for take of wolves caught in the act of attacking livestock or working dogs.
F. Permits for intentionally injurious, non-lethal hazing of gray wolves issued pursuant to W-10, #1000.A.11 and permits for injurious and lethal take of gray wolves in the act of attacking livestock or working dogs issued pursuant to W-10, #1001.B authorize the livestock owner to use artificial light, electronic night vision equipment, electronically enhanced light-gathering optics, and thermal imaging devices. State and federal agencies may use such technologies to haze, injure or kill gray wolves where otherwise authorized by law. Livestock owners and their agents may use such technologies to conduct non-injurious hazing as authorized pursuant to W-10, #1000.A.10.
G. If a livestock owner’s livestock are part of a herd composed of livestock owned by multiple owners, any owner of livestock in the same herd may also qualify for any of the gray wolf permits authorized in this chapter.
