won’t kill any more wolves
from the Smackout Pack, be-
cause the predators haven’t
attacked any cattle for two
months.
Under the state’s wolf plan
and protocols, department
director Jim Unsworth can
authorize “an incremental re-
moval of wolves,” said Donny
Martorello, wolf policy lead
for WDFW. That includes a
period of active removal fol-
lowed by a period to evaluate
whether that action changed
pack behavior.
The department captured
and euthanized two wolves
from the pack July 20-30, and
entered the evaluation period
July 31.
“We were monitoring
the movements of wolves
and looking for proximity of
wolves and livestock,” Mar-
torello said. “We were really
trying to see, are these animals
co-existing on the landscape
without confl ict?”
Several ranchers have live-
stock on federal grazing allot-
ments in the area. They will
begin to collect the cattle at the
end of the month, Martorello
said.
The three ranchers who
experienced fi ve documented
losses to the Smackout Pack all
met expectations for proactive
and responsive measures to de-
ter wolves, he said.
In early August, a ranch-
er moved livestock from a

fenced area to join other cows
on open-range allotments. The
department wanted to see if the
wolves’ behavior had changed,
and did not detect any further
depredations on livestock
during that time. The depart-
ment concluded the evaluation
period Sept. 21.
The department will con-
tinue to monitor wolves and
cows, Martorello said.
The state’s 2011 wolf plan
allows for killing problem
wolves if four depredations
occur in 10 months, or three in
30 days.
The department estimated
13 to 15 wolves in the pack
before the two wolves were
removed.
“That pack is still one of
our larger packs in the state,”
Martorello said. “Knock on
wood, it looks like the behav-
iors changed.”
Department directors have
authorized killing wolves four
times in Washington, Martorel-
lo said. Members of the Wedge
and Profanity Peak packs were
killed, and one wolf in the
Huckleberry pack was killed.
“This is the fi rst time we
were able to remove a couple
animals (in) a fairly large pack
and it looks as though we’ve
changed that behavior,” Mar-
torello said. “It’s encourag-
ing that we haven’t seen any
more confl ict.”
