up for the DOW Insider, the public receives e-mails
containing information on hunting, fishing, wildlife

the Division home page at http://wildlife.state.co.us,
clicking on “personalize this site” and then

from several different categories including “fishing”, “habitat”, “hunting”, “threatened
and endangered”, “Wildlife Commission Action”, “viewing” and “general” which

Bosque
del Oso State Wildlife Area
The largest habitat acquisition
to date for both the Elk Foundation and the Colorado
Division of Wildlife, the
Bosque del Oso State Wildlife Area protects nearly
30,000 acres of critical habitat. Located in rapidly
developing
Las Animas County, the area provides winter range for
animals for Colorado’s second-largest elk herd, along
with habitat for mule deer, bears, turkeys, bobcats,
bald eagles and trout. Now, as a public wildlife area,
many generations will enjoy the Bosque’s open spaces,
wildlife, scenery and recreational opportunities. Located
south of Weston this is one incredible Wildlife Habitat.
