The crime occurred northwest of New Bridge in the Skull Creek drainage of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest on Forest Service Road 7741. Oregon State Patrol troopers recovered the carcass of a black wolf [photo] with a pink radio collar off the 125 spur road, about one mile east of Eagle Forks campground. The wolf shot was the breeding male of the Cornucopia Pack in eastern Baker County.
