Dispersed as a yearling from the Rose Creek Pack during December 1996. Because it is not radio-collared, his location is uncertain. |

This wolf and #050? were possibly seen with #039F near Springdale, MT on 12/12/96. Their mother, #027F, was killed 10/8/97 for a second offense of livestock depredation. The wolves are not radio-collared. |

This wolf and #094M are the offspring of #037F (who was killed for allegedly killing livestock) and #029M. #037F and #029M are brother and sister and the offspring of #027F. #037F, #029M, and 3 other wolves were captured 10/8/97 and placed in the Nez Perce pen. The two were not with the group the day of capture. #027F was killed the same day for an alleged second offense of livestock depredation. The |
| |
|
|
two are not radio-collared and therefore their location in unknown. |
