Gayle L. Gutierrez Morrow County Treasurer Published: February 8 and 15, 2012 Affidavit 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. ftiftni iiinWii Mini w 9 M onth S tudent S ubscription A vailable - DRECTU TO Ï0UR STlDOfT.
