Yes, wolves have become a real problem in the eastern part of the state and have now migrated west across the Cascades, at least in the south near Crater Lake. When they start taking kids in the urban areas I hope they rethink their gran plan of having them run wild.
Yeah, I remember reading something a while back - tracking data on a big male wolf, its range was massive - and I think it had even come up the eastern side of Mt. Hood onto the Warm Springs Reservation, and it started out way the hell out in Eastern Oregon. I'd think a wolf ranging that far and as big as it was would be putting quite a hurting on the deer, elk, and possible livestock populations.
