RICHLAND, Ore. (AP) — Officials say a wolf was killed in northeast Oregon and the state is seeking the public’s help to find the person or people involved.
The Oregon State Police Fish & Wildlife Division said Wednesday that the wolf was killed in the Keating Wildlife Management Unit. Fish and Wildlife officials say their troopers were told by Fish & Wildlife personnel that a gray male collared wolf, OR117, was likely dead in the foothills of the Richland valley near the small town of Richland.
Fish & Wildlife Troopers believe the approximately 1-year-old wolf died on March 12 or 13. The Oregon Wildlife Coalition is offering to pay a $11,500 reward.
