Up to $5,000 reward offered for information leading to conviction
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agents today discovered the carcass of a radio-collared gray wolf that apparently was shot within the past three weeks. The carcass was found near the Bear Track Mine, a short distance from Forest Road 242, on national forest land west of Salmon, Idaho.
The Service and Defenders of Wildlife are offering up to a $5,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in this case.
The two- to three-year old female wolf, known as #134, was a member of the Jureano pack, which occupies the Salmon-Challis National Forest near Salmon. The carcass was discovered when her radio collar emitted a mortality signal.
The Jureano pack is one of about 17 packs among Idaho
