OR-54 And Other Challenges Of Wolf Management

A wolf in the wild, not OR-54.

The early years of gray wolves returning to the region are proving to be interesting, to say the least.  Wolf packs are now established west of the Cascades in both and . 

In fact, not long after Oregon wildlife biologists got a radio collar on female wolf OR-54 of the Rogue Pack, she left for California and stayed there for a while.  She's since returned. 

We gather workers from Fish & Wildlife in both states for some updates on wolf management and its many challenges.  Steve Niemala visits from Oregon, with Pete Figura from California.
