Must be something going around in the air.

Colorado is looking at bringing back the wolverine, however they have been seen in the northern part of the state in the last few years.

Is there a suitable population in the US to transplant?
They would have to bring them in from populations up in the far north.

One problem with them is that even where they have a good population they are very seldom seen. When I was hunting in a wilderness up in British Colombia I asked my guide about them. He said that it had been a dozen years since he had seen one but that he sees their tracks quite often.

It sounded like my grizzly bear hunt. We saw their tracks but in 10 days we didn't see one until the day before we packed out..
