The department is continuing to evaluate whether removing two wolves from the OPT pack last month has changed the remaining wolves’ behavior and reduced the potential for recurrent wolf depredations on livestock. The latest depredation was 14 days ago on Sept. 21, 2018.
If WDFW documents additional wolf depredations on livestock, the department may initiate another lethal removal action following the guidelines of the Wolf Plan and 2017 Protocol.
The livestock producer involved has continued to employ non-lethal deterrence measures described in the Sept. 28 update.
