Wolf
Program
update
The Oregon D e
partment of Fish and Wild
life (ODFW) issued the fol
lowing report on the Wolf
Program for the month of
January:
ODFW received 25
public wolf reports during
January. O f those, seven
wolf reports were from the
western wolf management
zone (four sightings, three
track and scat reports), and
18 from the east zone (12
sightings, six track reports).
Westem/Eastem wolf man
agement zones are divided
by Hwys. 97/20/395.
Im n a h a P a c k :
ODFW continued to receive
GPS radio-collar locations
o f OR4, the alpha male
of the pack, until Jan. 25.
Since that time, no data
downloads have been re
ceived. The VHF telemetry
signal continues to func
tion and the wolf has been
detected recently. At this
time, we believe the collar
suffered structural damage
that has caused malfunc
tion...not uncommon with
wolves, as they can be hard
on these types of collars. It
is possible that the telem
etry beacon will continue to
function, but it is unknown
for how long. OR2’s telem
etry signal still functions;
the pack will be monitored
by standard telemetry meth
ods in the near-term. There
was depredation by the
Imnaha pack in January
(see below).
O R 7 : OR7 r e
mained in California dur
ing January.
W en a h a P a c k :
Tracks o f Wenaha pack
wolves were observed on
two days in January. In
addition, remote camera
data continued to show a
minimum o f five wolves
in the pack. No additional
pups (other than the one dis
covered in December) were
documented in January.
Walla Walla Pack:
ODFW biologists tracked
the Walla Walla pack using
telemetry in January and
observed that the pack con
sisted of 8 wolves (this in
cludes 5 known pups from
2011). With the mild winter
weather, these wolves are
continuing to use higher-
elevation forested areas
in the Upper Walla Walla
River drainage.
C atherine Creek
Unit: On January 31, a
single wolf track was docu
mented by ODFW biolo
gists in a forested area near
Cove, OR. It is unknown
if this represents resident
wolf activity or a dispersing
wolf. Additional surveys
will be conducted.
Heppner Unit: On
January 31, a single wolf
track was documented by
ODFW biologists in the
Madison Butte area. It is
unknown if this represents
resident wolf activity or a
dispersing wolf. A remote
camera was installed to help
monitor the site if the wolf
returns.
Livestock Depre
dation, Investigations, and
Livestock Producer A s
sistance: ODFW conduct
ed four w olf depredation
investigations during the
month in Wallowa County,
all associated with the Im
naha pack. These resulted in
one “confirmed” depreda
tion (cow), two “probable”
determinations (a bull and
a mule), and one “pos-
sible/unknown” determina
tion (cow). A summary of
each investigation can be
viewed at the following link
http://www. dfw. state. or. us/
W olves/livestocklossin-
vestigations.asp
N on-L ethal/P re-
ventative Actions: ODFW
continued to send text mes
sages to Wallowa County
livestock producers with
livestock in the area of the
Imnaha pack. During the
month, a total of 920 text
messages were sent. Texts
were sent twice daily until
January 30. Many personal
phone calls were also made
to specific producers in
areas without cell phone
service. Beginning January
30, texts are not available
due to the failure of OR4’s
collar (see above). ODFW
will continue to monitor
this pack via telem etry
(and Range Rider) and will
continue to inform area
producers of any location
information we receive of
this pack.
In response to the
Jan. 7 confirmed depreda
tion (Imnaha pack) o f a
cow in the Upper Valley
area, ODFW implemented
a new Range Rider proj
ect, installed two Radio-
Activated Guard devices,
and installed approximately
one-half-mile of electrified
fladry. The Range Rider
began on Jan. 7 and worked
20 days of the month, pri
marily in evening and early
morning.
Litigation: On Nov.
15, the Oregon Court of
Appeals extended the stay
prohibiting ODFW from
killing two wolves from
the Imnaha pack under the
chronic depredation rule.
ODFW’s planned lethal re
moval of the alpha male and
an uncollared wolf from the
pack is on hold pending the
Court of Appeal’s decision
on the case.
• Annual Report: On
January 6, ODFW staff
presented the 2011 annual
wolf management report to
the ODFW Commission.
The report used data and in
formation collected through
December 15, 2011. The
report and supporting at
tachments can be accessed
through the ODFW website.
Staff will now update the
report to reflect year-end
data and will post before
the end of February.
