Wolves Spread to OR?
Another Idaho wolf has wandered into eastern Oregon
– this one a radio-collared female wolf from the
Timberline Pack. Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife biologists just found the two- to three-year-old
wolf in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest near the
Eagle Cap Wilderness Area. The biologists had received
reports of wolf activity in that area and were searching for
missing wolf radio-collars from Idaho. Idaho Fish and Game

biologists had put a radio-collar on the wolf – identifi ed as B-
300 – northeast of Boise in August 2006. Oregon biologists
observed only a single wolf. But it was the fi fth confi rmed
wolf to be found in Oregon. In March 1999, a radio-collared
female was captured near John Day and returned to Idaho.
In 2000, a collared wolf was found dead along Interstate 84
south of Baker City, and a wolf without a radio collar was
found shot between Ukiah and Pendleton. In July 2007, a
mature female wolf was found dead from a gunshot wound
in Union County. All four wolves were from Idaho.
