GPS monitoring collars placed on Wolves by state fish and wildlife officers are being monitored by the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office and the Wolves’ real-time locations are being shared publicly. Thursday morning Wolves were between Harry Cash Road and the A-12 Road 3 miles east of Big Springs. A livestock deputy has been designated to help monitor the Wolves’ locations and share them with ranchers and other members of the public. Several Northstate counties have appealed to the state to do more to suppress Wolves. Since 2024, ranchers in Eastern Shasta County have reported Wolf attacks that have resulted in the deaths of cattle and other livestock. The state has a program that reimburses ranchers for cattle lost to Wolves. The Gray Wolf is protected by both Federal and California Endangered Species Laws. The first Wolf known to cross the state line in 87 years wandered south from Oregon in search of a mate in 2009.
