As it works to update its management plan, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission is wrestling with a host of wolf issues. Buckmaster said the commission has heard allegations that wolf poaching has increased. “There certainly is poaching of wolves,” Samuels responded. He didn’t provide more details and the commission didn’t ask for any. Groups such as Oregon Wild, Cascadia Wildlands and Center for Biological Diversity maintain wolf poaching is on the rise. Another issue: Does the burden of Oregon’s wolf management approach weigh too heavily on private landowners? People in Northeast Oregon, especially in Wallowa County and especially cattle ranchers, would say of course. Russ Morgan, ODFW wolf program manager, said 74 percent of confirmed wolf depredations occur on private land. Michael Finley, the ODFW Commission chair, raised the question. He said it’s a dichotomy: Private land with private expectations, and a public resource — wolves — is doing damage and costing LOCAL owners money.

Among them: There’s a question about who should investigate when Oregon wolves devour livestock. A “depredation,” as it’s called in wildlife management-speak. The Oregon Department of Fish Wildlife says it could use some help. Cattle ranchers would like to see properly certified local groups involved, to speed up the process. Depredation inves- tigations are important because wolves involved in enough of them can end up dead. “Lethal control,” is the polite term. Oregon State Police say no thanks. The OSP Wildlife Divi- sion head, Capt. Jeff Samuels, said his game officers would need eight hours of training each, about 1,000 hours total. That’s expensive. “I don’t think it fits into our mission,” Samuels told the commission members. “Depre- dations are not a law enforce- ment issue.” He said OSP is happy to help ODFW biologists, but making the call on whether wolves were responsible for killing livestock is not its responsibility. While Samuels was handy, ODFW Commissioner Bruce 30s National Summary: Other than storms in the Upper Midwest, Florida and West Texas, it will be dry and warmer today east of the Rockies. Northwest dreariness will persist while winds raise Southwest wildfire risks. Copyright © 2017, EO Media Group By ERIC MORTENSON Capital Bureau 20s property ought to be managed differently. For example, require only two confirmed depredations on private land instead of three, the uniform private-public stan- dard. It’s complicated because Oregon land is about 50-50 public and private, often butting up against each other. Wolves go where they want and ranchers use both, because grazing is a permitted activity on land managed by the BLM and Forest Service. Todd Nash, a Wallowa County commissioner who is wolf committee chair for the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association, agreed property lines are intermixed and sometimes unfenced. But he said cattle are private property, and ranchers wouldn’t allow someone to rustle their cattle, for instance, no matter where they were grazing. Insert eat for rustle and the point is made. The ODFW Commission wasn’t taking public testimony during the meeting, but Nash, like Capt. Samuels of OSP, was present and the commission asked him a question. The discussion came as the commission gathers its thoughts on a draft five-year wolf manage- ment plan. The commission has held three public hearings and will adopt a plan later this year. The overriding issue may be local control. Some people who follow the process believe the rules should be loosened in Northeast Oregon, where most wolves live.

Sen. Peter Courtney, a Salem Democrat, said the bill came about with help of a Girl Scout troop from Southwest Oregon. He said this year alone, there have been a number of incidences where children or dogs have been left in overheated cars. “It’s a real threat, this is not something that only can happen in Phoenix, Arizona, or in the southwest in the summer months,” Courtney said. “It can happen in the state of Oregon with temperatures as low as 72 degrees.” The bill allows the use of reasonable force to enter a vehicle. Anyone who does break into a car is required to remain at the scene until law enforcement arrives. This bill is now on its way to Gov. Kate Brown’s desk for signing. In 2015, the legislature passed a rule that allowed law enforcement to enter a car to rescue domestic animals. Corrections The East Oregonian in the June 6 story “District attorney indicts Lybrand on more cases” stated the alleged minor victim testified to the grand jury. The EO based the reporting on public court records. The Umatilla County District Attorney’s Office on June 8 filed a notice the minor did not testify. The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors. If you notice a mistake in the paper, please call 541-966-0818.
