PORTLAND — Wolves
were once so plentiful in
the abundant forests that
would become Oregon that
the earliest settlers gathered
from far and wide to discuss
how to kill them.
Those “wolf meetings”
in the 1840s, spawned by
a common interest, even-
tually led to the formation
of the Oregon territory, the
precursor for statehood in
1859.
Today, Oregon’s state-
hood is secure, but the future
of its wolf population once
more hangs in the balance.
Wolves have returned after
decades, and this time,
humans are having a much
more contentious discussion
about what to do with them.
It’s a political debate
playing out against the back-
drop of a rapidly growing
wolf population, a jump in
wolf poaching and demands
from ranchers and hunters
who say the predators
are decimating herds and
spooking big game.
The Oregon Fish and
Wildlife
Commission
will vote in January on
whether to adopt a new wolf
management plan that could
eventually open the door for
a wolf hunt for the first time
since bounty hunting wiped
out wolves in the state 70
years ago. Idaho, which has
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife via AP
This Aug. 2009, photo shows what ODFW believes is
the alpha male OR-4 that bred with B-300 to produce
the Imnaha wolf pack in the Imnaha Unit in Wallowa
County near Joseph.
a much larger population
of the animals, allows wolf
hunting.
Conservationists worry
the plan will erode recent
progress, particularly given
a rash of unsolved poaching
cases and an uptick in
state-sanctioned
wolf
killings in response to wolf
attacks on livestock. They
are adamantly opposed to
wolf hunting and say the
population is a long way
from supporting it.
The species lost its
endangered status under
Oregon law two years
ago — when the population
hit 81 wolves — and is no
longer federally protected in
the eastern third of the state.
Wolves, which were wiped
out in the continental U.S. in
all but a slice of Minnesota,
also are rebounding in other
Western states, prompting
similar debates about human
co-existence.
Oregon wildlife officials
have killed or authorized
the killing of 14 wolves
since 2009, including 10 in
the past two years, and 12
more have been poached,
including eight since 2015,
according to state wildlife
officials.
“When we had zero
wolves 10 years ago, and
now when we have 112
wolves, that’s certainly a

success story — but we’re
not done,” said Rob Klavins,
a wolf specialist with Oregon
Wild, a conservation organi-
zation. “Can you imagine if
there were only 81 known
elk in the state of Oregon, or
if there were 81 salmon? We
wouldn’t think of delisting
them.”
Early explorers noted
wolves were “exceedingly
numerous” in what would
become Oregon, and the
so-called wolf meetings that
led to the region’s first civic
government established a
bounty for wolves in 1843
that paid $3 per hide. The
state later took over the
bounty and offered $20 per
wolf in 1913 - the equivalent
of nearly $500 today.
The last bounty payment
was recorded in 1947, and
the wolf vanished from
Oregon for decades.
In
the
mid-1990s,
wolves were reintroduced
to central Idaho, and in
1999, a lone wolf wandered
into northeastern Oregon. It
was trapped and returned to
Idaho.
Two more were found
dead in Oregon in 2000.
But the first definitive proof
wolves had returned to the
state came in 2007, when
a wolf was found shot to
death. The following year, a
wolf nicknamed Sophie by
conservationists gave birth
to the first litter of pups born
in Oregon in decades.

BRIEFLY
Quake recorded off Oregon Coast
COOS BAY (AP) — The U.S. Geological Survey has
recorded a 4.7-magnitude earthquake in the Pacific Ocean
off the coast of Oregon.
The temblor struck Friday at 9:36 a.m., about 108
miles west of Coos Bay. It occurred at a depth of 6.2
miles. There were no reports of injuries or damage.
Teens planned to kill new classmate
BENTON CITY, Wash. (AP) — Authorities say they’re
investigating an attempted murder plot involving several
students at a southern Washington high school.
The Tri-City Herald reports that three 16-year-old
students — two boys and a girl — had plotted to kill an
18-year-old classmate on Nov. 15.
The classmate, who was not hurt, was lured to the back
of a market, where they had planned to kill him with a knife.
The Kiona-Benton City School District expelled
one boy and the girl the next day. The second boy’s
involvement was discovered this week.
Benton County Sheriff’s Sgt. Bob Brockman said the
older classmate was new to Kiona-Benton City High
School and had “disrupted the flow” of the social order.
The boy who masterminded the plot has been held at
Benton-Franklin juvenile detention center.
Central Oregon homicide victim ID’d
BEND (AP) — Authorities in Central Oregon
identified a 51-year-old man as the victim in a
Thanksgiving Day homicide.
Crook County Undersheriff James Savage says
deputies found the body of Dennis Stewart after being
asked to conduct a welfare check in Juniper Acres, an
off-the-grid subdivision south of Prineville.
No arrest has been made, but Savage says a person of
interest has been interviewed and there is no threat to the
public. He declined to release more information.
