The Tucannon Pack was designated in 2013. On May 1, 2016, the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife captured and radio collared the breeding female – a wolf named 058f – from the Tucannon Pack. Five days later she was found dead by WDFW staff. It is believed she died from an infection related to her capture a few days beforehand. At the time it was believed that the pack had pups 5-6 weeks old, and there were concerns expressed over their survival.
The capture and collaring of 058f came shortly after a confirmed wolf kill of a calf in Tucannon Pack territory.
With the the death of 058f, there were no radio collared wolves in the Tucannon Pack. A collar on a male wolf stopped transmitting over the winter, but reported sightings suggested the wolf was still alive.
At the end of 2016, the pack had a confirmed minimum number of 4 wolves.
In 2017, the pack had only two confirmed members and was not counted as a breeding pair.
For 2018, the pack had only a minimum count of 2, and was not confirmed as a breeding pair. The 2019-2020 winter survey detected three pack members, but pups were not confirmed for 2019.
There were no successful breeding pairs counted in the following winter survey, but a minimum of four pack members were counted.
Current numbers: 4
Pack status: Designated in 2013.
