After radio-collaring a sub-adult female of the Chesnim-
nus pack Feb. 23 in Wallowa County, an ODFW biologist
double-checks the fit of the GPS radio-collar. 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.
He wondered out loud
whether wolves on private on

ODFW commission wrestles with wolf management
SALEM — A couple of
items emerged Thursday when
the citizen commission that sets
Oregon’s wildlife policy sat
down once again to gnaw on
the state’s plan for managing
wolves.
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

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.

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.

Oregon bill would legalize
breaking into hot vehicles
to rescue kids, pets
Northwest News Network
The Oregon Senate passed a bill
Wednesday that exempts people from
criminal or civil liability if they break into a
car to rescue a pet or a child.
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.
