Wolves continue Hoback rampage

Posted: Thursday, Mar 10th, 2016 BY: Joy Ufford

BONDURANT Wolves killed a fifth beef calf in Hoback Basin Wednesday, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) confirmed Thursday.

The protected wolves also continue to target elk, killing about 50 wintering on Bondurant's two feedgrounds under Wyoming Game and Fish (G&F) management.

FWS wolf program manager Mike Jimenez confirmed the recent livestock kills, and FWS with the USDA Wildlife Services (WS) has targeted the Dell Creek pack, which in February Jimenez estimated at 10 to 12 wolves and the basin's Rim Pack at seven to eight animals.
However, WS spotted 16 wolves in the western pack last week and killed five total as of Thursday in the general area of the cattle, leaving 11, he said in an email updating the count.
