Dozens of cattle in Colorado are killed by an elusive culprit that left no trace - wildlife officials are baffled after two months of investigation and surveillance

Black told Steamboat Pilot & Today that he and his team are lost when it comes to the phenomenon.

'It's frustrating, trying to figure out exactly what occurred in this incident,' Black said.

The director also said that while they don't believe wolves to be behind the deaths, they also can't rule them out completely.

'We have no evidence of wolves in that area. That doesn't mean they are not there,' Black said. Since October, more than 40 cows have been found killed near the town of Meeker

Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials say they have found no tracks near the scene where the cows have been found dead Other possibilities, including coyotes and a bacterial infection, have been proposed but also effectively ruled out

Officials in Colorado are scratching their heads after dozens of cattle have been found slaughtered over the past few weeks by an unknown creature that left no tracks.

In the past two months, more than three dozen cows have been found dead near Meeker, Colorado, according to local media outlets.

The first batch of 18 cows were found dead in October and officials said that just five of the animals looked as thought they may have been killed by wolves.

'Missing tails, bite marks on the hocks and flanks and hamstrings,' said Travis Black, the northwest regional director for the Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

In general, the theory seems unlikely to the CWP official who says the whole situation remains a mystery as they have found no tracks or evidence of the animals in the area.

Spypoint has all kinds of cameras that could be put up to catch whatever is doing this and send pictures to cell phones immediately. What are you spending the tax dollars on up there, idiots?

I have read old books written in the 1800s that describe wolves with unnatural intelligence, as their population increases this intelligence seems to grow with the competition.

Things like...hiding their kills and their scat, etc... moving with extreme stealth, controlling their urge to mate, controlled eating, controlled movement, etc..

Sometimes the only way they were detected was with bits of fur shed from their coats. It takes a extremely skilled hunter to pick out the signs....all those guys are dead.

They may have extreme regret once this wolf re-population effort yields fruit.

It’s Colorado. It’s more likely anti-beef, ‘cow fart’ climate hysteric extremists killing the cows.

It would be very easy to do with a drone AND evade their surveillance. Oddly, there’s no mention in the article of toxicology tests, almost like they’re not interested in really solving the so-called ‘mystery’...

One of my favorite Art Bell broadcast was when he only accepted calls from people from the future. Very funny and Art played the straight man perfectly.

My grandfather lost dozens of turkeys to a neighbors dog. He shot the dog (not fatal) and the dog ran home, leaving a blood trail. My grandfather drove over to the neighbors house and confronted him. “Your dog killed my turkeys”.
Not my dog said the neighbor, he’s been right here all day.
Well you better check that dog for bleeding cause he appears to have been shot, says grandpa.
90 years ago.

There is a reason wolves killing for fun is well documented.

Only the anti’s want you to believe that they do not.

A real big clue.

Sounds like wolves to me.

Linda Moulton Howe researches mysterious livestock mutilation all over the world. She is pretty smart, and keeps good records. Those interested in this phenomenon should go look her up. I have had a couple of in person conversations with her, and was impressed.

Duh!! It is the new miRNA vaccines the farmers and ranchers have been told they HAVE to give their herds. Some die within an hour!
This is bull s^^t! They know what is happening and it is on purpose.

“Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials say they have found no tracks near the scene...”

That is certainly unusual. It’s not likely the cows were all on rocky ground.

We need to recruit Joe Pickett from the CJ Box novels to solve this.

Sounds like “Skinwalkers”. Like in the show Mystery of Skinwalker Ranch.

Who are these people? I could recognize a wolf eaten carcass by the time I was about 6 or 7 years old.

That place is really not far away to the west.

On another note, canines do drop more than they can eat frequently. Back in the day were I grew up in western Ks, thousands of sheep were winter pastured. One morning a flock wandered towards our farm probably looking for water. Setting at the breakfast table watching them when our German Shepherd bitch spotted the sheep and took after them. She would catch up to one, grab its hind leg and flip it then off to the next one. She had a dozen or so downed before I got her called back. They were strung out over more than a half mile. Fortunately they were unhurt and the drover got his fence mended. Just an instinct thing...

Wow! That is something. And no sheep were harmed? Your dog wasn’t out to hurt or kill then. That’s good. I actually think it was wolves in Colorado.

They should thank goodness for that, at least they have a clue. the old timers talk about wolves that were so smart there was absolutely no sort of that kind of sign present. These wolves can become so smart that the only way you’re gonna find them is where some of their Fur Gets stuck on fence post somewhere
