Two groups opposing a Colorado ballot initiative to reintroduce the gray wolf into the state conceded the race Thursday, Nov. 5, 2020, even though the race is too early to call because thousands of ballots are still uncounted. Utah ranchers and hunters are upset about the possibility of wolves roaming into the state from its next-door neighbor.
