Wasco County Commissioner Jeff Justesen says he’s trying to restart a wolf compensation committee. There had been a panel ten years ago that had some momentum, but it then dropped off. Justesen says it is time to bring it back with increased wolf activity in the southern portion of the County. He says they would work closely with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to show the need for the group. Justesen says the state can be reluctant to give specifics on where wolves are roaming. But he points out sightings have occurred not just in the remote southern parts of the County, but in the Dufur and Maupin areas as well.
