The Sacramento Bee reports that the California Fish and Game Commission will be considering giving California endangered species protection to the Grey Wolf. Earlier this year a gray wolf came into California from Oregon ( see After 87 Years A Gray Wolf Returns To California).
State scientists believe other gray wolves may migrate into California and could start breeding populations. There are concerns that ranchers may view the wolves as a threat to livestock making protected status a high priority.

It’s tempting to head up toward Lassen and look for him…. However, I tried and failed to find the deer that was filmed crossing into SF from the GG Bridge a couple years ago, and Plumas County is a lot more ground to cover!

I think he is back in Oregon now. Did he get as far south as Plumas County?
