1. "OR-7, a radio-collared wolf from Oregon that entered the state in late 2011 .." - Damn! I know that wolf!

That wolf (OR-7), with others, circled the butte where I was staffing a USFS fire lookout tower in the Oregon wilderness, with my dog Nick, in late September 2011. That activity continued for several days into early October, when I finally closed the lookout for the season. The wolves then crossed the Cascade Range just north of Mt. Thielsen and turned south before crossing I-5, ending up in northern California.

At the time, I was not aware of the close proximity (about 1000 yards) of the wolves to my lookout tower. But when I found out about the wolves a week or so later, from the Bend Bulletin newspaper, it explained some of Nick's weird behavior during the time period the wolves were on our butte.

2. Cool

That wolf made quite a trek. I wonder why he migrated so far away. Your dogs must have picked up the wolves scent.
