This story has a happy ending, but they don't all end that way. We are thankful to Frisco Creek facility manager Michael Sirochman for the work and care that goes into these cubs. Click below to learn more about CPW's process of rehabbing orphaned cubs. coloradooutdoorsmag.com/2025/08/22/orp…

And here's video and photos of wildlife officer Nate Martinez on the cub release in Archuleta County.

Hello, old friend. We recently released 5 oprhaned bear cubs back into the wild after a roughly 8-month stay at our Frisco Creek Rehabilitation Center. One made some news in Durango last August when it was chased by humans and entered a restaurant through an open back door.

The return of one of our favorite header photos. Felt appropriate after last night. Force of Nature vs. Everyone. #GoAvsGo

A big thanks to Sirochman, who does such a great job caring for orphaned and injured animals and giving them a second chance at a wild life. Want to learn more about bobcats and our research on them in Colorado? Check out this video: youtube.com/watch?v=qP_iGD…

So last week, our officers and wildlife biologist for the Montrose area picked up the bobcat and released it back into excellent bobcat habitat outside of Montrose. And we got ALL of the angles of the release. Video descriptions: A bobcat runs out of a crate.

Sitting on a gold mine of wildlife rehab success stories. Thought we might share one today. Check out this bobcat wildlife officers from our Montrose area picked up as an orphan. It was found alone eating on a carcass for a few days, but mom never appeared, so we stepped in.

Huge news for Front Range anglers.
