If wolves don't exist in Colorado, are they a "protected species" that cannot be hunted ?

A few years back Minnesota wasn't supposed to have any mountain lions and after they kept showing up the state realized that they weren't on the "protected species" list before somebody shot one, which prior to that would have been perfectly legal.

I imagine the trouble with wolves is the Feds.

For the life of me I can't see how some people worship these animals almost like they're a god among animals. They're a very efficient predator and I respect them. I don't like too many of them around though.
