2 Gray Wolves Illegally Killed Near Jackson

RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) — Wildlife officials are investigating after two gray wolves were illegally killed in the Gros Ventre area near Jackson.

The Associated Press reports one wolf was found shot to death in early December, and the second, which also was shot, was found Dec. 21 a few miles from the first wolf carcass.

Bill Long, a warden with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, says the killings are "plain and simple poaching" and "such self-centered actions hurt all of us in the long run."
