Wolves, wolverines and a wookiee ...

Today's print edition of the Montrose Daily Press is sponsored by the letter 'W.'

First up, we've got wolves. Livestock producers, wildlife advocates and citizens weighed in this week, as the Colorado Wildlife Commission considered whether "nighttime aids" such as night-vision equipment and thermal imaging could be used to prevent wolf depredation. You can read Katharhynn's story detailing this discussion here. 

Additionally, Rep. Lauren Boebert — currently still representing CD3, as she runs for the CD4 seat — also jumped into the wolf conversation, getting a bill passed in the House that aims to delist the gray wolf from the federal endangered species list. Read about that one here.

Finally, we've got a little Easter egg hidden on the front page of today's print edition. As today is May the 4th ... use the force to find it.
