Or. Admin. Code § 635-110-0009 - Lethal Take Authority for Confirmed Wolf Depredation from January 28, 2013 Through May 15, 2013

Upon filing of this temporary rule, and regardless of any other provisions and future amendments to Oregon Administrative Rules chapter 635, division 0110-0010, ODFW confirmed depredations from January 28, 2013 through May 15, 2013 may be considered qualifying depredations for purposes of lethal take authority for a period of 6 months from the date of confirmation, up to a maximum of three qualifying depredations. For any pack of wolves responsible for three or more depredations between January 28, 2013 and May 15, 2013, any additional ODFW confirmed depredation(s) may qualify provided the following have been met:

(1) The owner or legal occupant of the land on which a depredation occurred has removed, treated or disposed of all intentionally placed or known and reasonably accessible unnatural attractants of potential wolf-livestock conflict, such as bone or carcass piles or disposals sites; and

(2) The owner or legal occupant of the land has been implementing at least one non-lethal measure that is specific to the location, type of livestock operation, time of year, and/or period of livestock production associated with the depredation. Upon determining that the above requirements have been met, ODFW may implement lethal take authority on or before November 15, 2013, provided that there have been 4 qualifying depredations within the previous 6 months by the same wolf or wolves.
