The Oregon State Police Fish & Wildlife Division is asking for the public’s help with identifying whoever was responsible for the killing of a wolf in the Pine Creek Wildlife Management Unit, located in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.
The killing occurred on or about Oct. 29. This incident occurred in the Grouse Flat area off of the USFS 3990 RD, northeast of Halfway. This is the second wolf killed in Baker County in less than six weeks.
An elk hunter found the deceased wolf and reported the incident to OSP. The hunter then led OSP and Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife personnel to the location of the deceased wolf. The investigation determined the wolf was shot with a firearm.
ODFW stated the wolf was a non-breeding sub-adult female wolf approximately 1.5 years of age. The wolf was in the Pine Creek Pack territory.
Anyone with information regarding this case is urged to contact OSP Sergeant Isaac Cyr through the Turn in Poachers (TIP) hotline at 1-800-452-7888 or *OSP (mobile).
