Ore. wolf back on grid after eluding satellite
GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) -- Oregon's famous wandering wolf is back on the grid after escaping satellite surveillance for five days.
But OR-7 eluded biologists Thursday trying to get a look at him up close and personal in the wilds of Northern California, where he has been searching for a mate since last winter.
Karen Kovacs of the California Department of Fish and Game says she and other biologists found a track when they went looking for OR-7 on the Plumas National Forest, but did not pick him up on a radio tracking device.
The wolf's GPS tracking collar downloaded a location for him Friday in remote western Plumas County.
Meanwhile, a public hearing is scheduled for Wednesday in Sacramento, Calif., on whether to put gray wolves on the California state endangered species list.
