A wolf from Northeast Washington that set up a territory on the edge of the Coast Range was killed by provincial authorities early last week after reportedly attacking cattle.

Known as 017M, the black-coated male was radio-collared by WDFW trappers in late May 2012 and last winter left the Smackout Pack territory on the Stevens-Pend Oreille County line.

Hatchery raised wolfs compared to wild wolfs? Sounds familier as to what's happening in the rivers.
