Fish and Wildlife has not found evidence of wolves in Lake Tahoe Basin or Hope Valley
From South Tahoe Now:
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – There was excitement back in 2011 when the first wolf sighting in California in almost 90 years was made when “OR-7” crossed into California northeast of Dorris, a small town in Siskiyou County. Even though OR-7 is back in Oregon, there have been several confirmed sightings of wolves in California.
There have been no confirmed wolf sightings in the Lake Tahoe Basin or Hope Valley, though the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CADFW) has received numerous phone calls and messages about wolves in these two areas. After the recent uptick in those saying they spotted wolves in Hope Valley, biologists were dispatched to the area. They installed video and audio recorders since the wolf makes a distinct sound. So far, there has been no evidence of wolves – no tracks, no pictures, no animal kills, no video, and no audio.
