Two Spanish Lobos Captured Near Alpine
Trapper W. S. Evans captured what are believed to be the first live lobos in Brewster County. A black specimen and another wolf were caught in a steel trap and placed in a cage near Alpine. Ranchers report Mexican origin wolves crossing the Rio Grande years ago and preying on cattle in the Big Bend area. As pressure rose, the county and state federal authorities joined ranchers to hunt them, with several captured or killed in the Christmas Mountains region over the past three years.
