Wolf that crossed over into California now has a photo

or7-medford.jpg
OR7 is ready for his closeup. Or he was back on November 14, when the first gray wolf known to roam in lower Oregon and California in many decades was likely photographed by a hunter's trail camera. The photo was published in the Medford Mail Tribune, which named the hunter as Allen Daniels. Oregon wildlife officials confirm that the wolf appears to be wearing a tracking collar, and that OR7's collar showed him in the area on that day.
