Fish and Wildlife Offering Reward For Poached Wolves

U.S. Fish and Wildlife has increased its reward for information after three wolves were found dead in central Washington.  

Fish and Wildlife raised its reward to $10,000 for information leading to arrests and convictions after dead wolves were found in Klickitat and Okanogan counties.  Investigators say an adult male gray wolf was killed near highway 142 and Goldendale back in late September or October of 2023.  And then a female gray wolf was found dead southwest of Twisp on October 20, 2024.  Fish and Wildlife says the latest illegal wolf killing was reported in Klickitat County near Trout Lake around December 17th.

The Center for Biological Diversity also offered a $10,000 reward in each case in addition to the reward provided by U.S. Fish and Wildlife.
