REPUBLIC — The bodies continue to stack up, with one death on Halloween and an attack the following day, Nov. 1, resulting in injuries.

The depredations come from two different wolf packs.

The state Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) attributed the death of a heifer Oct. 31 to a wolf from the Smackout pack, located in an area east of Northport.

The death brings the pack’s confirmed count to four since Aug. 20, according to WDFW. Director Kelly Susewind is reviewing the details of the four depredations by the pack and is considering the next steps.

Fish and Wildlife also documented a wolf depredation on a calf by the Togo pack Oct. 26, bringing their total of confirmed depredations to six in the last 10 months. Susewind is reviewing that case also.

  1. I thought the cattle were supposed to have been moved by now, October 15 I think is the date. Why are they still there?

    And only four cattle? They sure don’t give an inch, do they. I believe the way the law is written that there is one ‘freebie’ (for the rancher!), where they don’t have to have 100% confirmation.
