First Confirmed Wolf Packs in Oregon and Washington

Uh oh… we all knew it was coming eventually.

A wolf pack that includes both adults and pups was confirmed in a forested area of northern Union County on Friday, the first evidence of multiple wolves and wolf reproduction in Oregon since wolves were extirpated from the state back in the mid-1940s.

    My dad and I saw wolf tracks in Hell’s Canyon (Oregon side) during the 2005 archery season in there. I guess we all knew it was coming. Still, it’s painful to see it confirmed.

    I’m sure there are plenty more “unconfirmed” packs out there. They’ll be in every little bit of suitable habitat before long I’m sure.
