Under Phase I management, when ODFW confirms wolf depredation of livestock, an Area of Depredating Wolves (ADW) is designated for the purpose of focusing non-lethal deterrent measures. In some cases, the ADW may encompass the entire home range of a pack, but in others, it may only encompass a portion. Within an ADW, certain criteria must be met for an incident of depredation to qualify toward lethal control, see the West Wolf Management Zone page for more information. An area specific wolf-livestock conflict deterrence plan (CDP) is also prepared for an area designated to be an ADW. The CDP will help livestock producers identify the appropriate non-lethal measures which are effective in a given circumstance.

December 20, 2022 – The USFWS announced the death of OR103. Since OR103 was traveling alone the AKWA, ADW, and Conflict Deterrence Plan have been discontinued.
August 11, 2022 – A new AKWA has been designated in the Keno management unit (Klamath County) for OR103. OR103 is an adult male wolf that was originally captured and GPS radiocollared southeast of Bend in February 2021. OR103 dispersed into northern California and resided there until returning to Oregon in July this year. The recent localized movement indicates the wolf is now resident in Klamath County. The AKWA will be modified if the wolf leaves the area.
