Attention all hunters, anglers and ATV riders - with a new year comes new rules and regulations and knowing what they are will keep you out of trouble.
A calf found severely injured in a grazing allotment on public land managed by the U.S. Forest Service was attacked by Oregon's Imnaha wolf pack - and biologists have found evidence of wolf reproduction in a new part of Oregon.
Biologists fitted a 96-pound male wolf with a GPS tracking collar, the only member of the Wenaha pack in northwestern Wallowa County currently outfitted with a tracking device.
Why did the wolf cross Oregon, perhaps en route to California? Perhaps the same reason they swam the Snake River from Idaho to Oregon more than a decade ago: Go forth - and multiply.
A trail camera captured images of a wolf in an area where wolf activity was suspected but previously unconfirmed. Cameras also caught glimpses of wolves elsewhere in Oregon.
Biologists captured three wolves last weekend and attached collars equipped with tracking devices to help study the movements of the endangered predators.
Wolves began arriving in Oregon from Idaho in 1999. Presently there are between 22 and 30 wolves in Northeast Oregon: 16 in an Imnaha area pack, six in a Wenaha area pack, at least two between La Grande and Baker City.
To celebrate the start of National Wolf Awareness Week, the zoo is inviting visitors to a keeper talk and wolf enrichment session Sunday, Oct. 17, at 11:30 a.m.
