Somebody's deer camera got a shot of OR-7 near Willow Lake, Oregon (near Butte Falls). Here's the photo:

I guess I wasn't thinkin too much. Deer cam would be incorrect. Game cam would be polite, but probably bear cam would more correct, specially in that part of the world. None the less, its a pretty good wolf shot. Lets hope no one is using one to plan a real "special" trophy.

Some more wolf news. Looks like OR-7 won't be going to Burning Man.

There will always be some locals that don't really care whether he is 'protected' or not. Awful hard to prosecute if you Shoot, Shovel, and Shut Up. Of course, the 'Shut Up' part always seems to fail... especially after a few beers... :lol:

He seems to like it in the area. The abnormally low snow cover is not driving him to warmer climes.

Another wolf article. This one is interesting as it talks about how they track the pack up in Wallowas.
