Fish & Wildlife Investigating Wolf Poaching In Lake County, Oregon

Federal authorities are looking for the person, or persons, who poached a protected wolf in south central Oregon.  In October, a radio-collared male gray wolf known as OR-186 was found dead on public land north of Yamsay Mountain, about 10 miles from Jackson Creek Campground in Klamath County and Upper Buck Creek Campground in Lake County.
