ODFW extends wolf removal permits near Lostine after continued attacks
From Elk Horn Media Group:
WALLOWA COUNTY — The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) has extended limited duration permits for livestock producers near Lostine, allowing them to continue efforts to remove a chronically depredating wolf until August 31. The permits, which were originally set to expire on July 31, have been extended due to ongoing depredation issues in the area.
The permits were initially issued following multiple wolf attacks on livestock in the southern portion of the Sled Springs Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) and the northern portion of the Minam WMU. Since May, local producers have reported three confirmed depredations and two probable attacks on their livestock, which led ODFW to authorize the removal of two wolves from the area.
