Utah officials are pulling the traps they set out earlier this month in Rich County that were meant to catch a rare gray wolf that had killed a calf there, according to FOX13.

The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food abandoned trying to capture and kill the endangered animal after not finding any more signs it was there, FOX13 reports.

The gray wolf is protected under the Endangered Species Act in much of Utah, but there is an exception in the northwestern part of the state north of Interstate 80 and east of Interstate 84, including Rich County.
