The US Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a reward for information regarding the killing of the male of the Copper Creek wolf pack.

The male, known as 2309-OR, was captured in Grand County on Aug. 30 and died on Sept. 3. He was found to be in poor condition.

USFWS said a necropsy, which has not yet been released because the investigation is ongoing, revealed that a gunshot wound “initiated the poor condition of the wolf and ultimately led to the cause of death.”

Wolf 2309-OR was one of 10 wolves from Oregon, which came from packs with a history of killing livestock in that state, that were relocated to Colorado a year ago.
