The depredation oc- curred on private land in the Balm Creek area of the county. A new area of known wolf activity (AKWA) was documented by ODFW in 2022, when a radio-col- lared female wolf dispersed from the Columbia Pack in Washington and entered Oregon. Since June 2022, her movements indicate she has become a resident in southwestern Morrow County, traveling with an- other wolf. Two wolves were documented in the WA-123 group during the count this winter. Wolves in Morrow County are currently listed as endangered under the Federal Endangered Spe- cies Act. All management related to the harassment and taking of wolves west of Highway 395 is regu- lated by the U.S. Fish And Wildlife Service.
