A gray wolf has been illegally killed WEST of Highway 395 in Morrow County in Eastern Oregon where gray wolves are still protected as federally endangered under the federal endangered species act. A radio collared male wolf known as OR-159 was found dead on private lands November 8th, 2024 approximately 20 miles south of Heppner Oregon. A reward of $10,000 has been posted in hopes of leading to an arrest or conviction. This is the 6th known wolf illegally killed in Oregon in 2024. We will include links in the comment on where to report a wolf poaching.
