Calf Confirmed Killed by Wolves

Calf confirmed killed by wolves in Wallowa County
ODFW confirmed another livestock loss by a wolf in Wallowa County today.
A calf was killed by a wolf on Monday night (May 16) in the same area where a wolf was trapped (Monday evening) and killed by ODFW (Tuesday morning).
ODFW and USDA Wildlife Services jointly investigated the depredation, which occurred on private property. A calf was also killed on this same property by wolves last year. 
ODFW has now issued 24 “caught in the act” permits, which allows livestock producers to shoot a wolf they “see in the act of biting, wounding or killing livestock.” (See the news release below for more details.)
ODFW will continue with efforts to kill another uncollared wolf in the Imnaha pack to limit further livestock losses.
