Brian Ratliff, district wildlife biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Baker City office, said he shot the wolf from a helicopter about 7:15 a.m. in the Keating area, about 15 miles east of Baker City.
The breeding male is the fourth wolf from the Black Pines Pack that officials have killed in the Keating area over the past three weeks.
