Within Areas of Known Wolf Activity (AKWA) certain preventative measures are recommended to minimize wolf-livestock conflicts. Though not required, non-lethal measures are important to reduce depredation.  If depredation becomes chronic and lethal control become necessary, ODFW’s ability to lethally remove depredating wolves will be dependent on the extent that non-lethal measures have been used and documented.

Cornucopia Timeline

2024

2023

April 18, 2023 – No reproduction was documented by the Cornucopia Pack in 2022.  Two wolves were documented during the winter count and were not counted as a breeding pair.

2022

April 19, 2022 – In 2021, the Cornucopia Pack breeding female produced three pups that survived to the end of the year.  The pack was not counted as a breeding pair since no breeding male was documented in the pack during or at the end of 2021.

2021

April 21, 2021 – In 2020, the Cornucopia Pack produced at least two pups that survived to the end of the year, but was not counted as a breeding pair as the breeding male did not survive to the end of the year.  Radio-collar data showed a 166 mi² use area with 81% of location data points on public lands and 19% on private lands.

2020

April 15, 2020 – The breeding male and female of the Cornucopia Pack bred for the first time in 2019.  The breeding female is a radio-collared disperser from the Pine Creek Pack, and the breeding male is a radio-collared disperser from the Walla Walla Pack.  The pair produced three pups that survived to the end of the year and was counted as a breeding pair.  Radio-collar data showed a 162mi² use area in the Pine Creek and Keating WMUs with 92% of location data points on public lands.  The remaining 8% were on private lands.

2021

April 21, 2021 – The breeding male and female of the Lookout Mountain Pack bred for the first time in 2020.  The pair produced two pups that survived to the end of the year and was counted as a breeding pair.  Radio-collar data showed a 216 mi² use area with 80% of location data points on private lands and 20% on public lands.

2020

April 15, 2020 – The collared disperser left the area in December.  Resident wolf activity was confirmed during the winter count.

2019

April 8, 2019 - OR37 was not documented during 2018, so this AKWA is discontinued.

2018
