Arizona loses northern grey wolf

[Bean Counter]

 

From The Arizona Repugnant

The federally protected female wolf seen last month near the Grand Canyon may have been shot and killed in southwestern Utah on Sunday, wildlife groups fear.

If that's true, the first northern gray wolf seen in northern Arizona in 70 years has been lost.

A hunter shot the radio-collared animal over the weekend in the Tushar Mountains outside of Beaver, Utah, according to a release from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. The mountains are about 200 miles north of the Grand Canyon.

The hunter mistook the animal for a coyote, the agency said.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has not confirmed the wolf's identity. But the Utah agency said the federal service identified the animal as a 3-year-old, female northern gray wolf. She was collared last January in Wyoming.

Oh darn

Oh well,  she should have stayed home where she belonged

I see it as its is a problem for Wyoming not any other state,  Doesn't the STATE own its wildlife??

Collared in Wyoming, seen in Arizona and shot in Utah. So first Wyoming lost her, then Arizona lost her and finally Utah found her.

I think all 3 states need a better management plan....Wait...maybe just 2 of the states need a better plan. One of the states didn't lose the wolf.
