Current Numbers: 2
Pack Status: Active without pack status. Designated as a pack in 2022.
Starting in August of 2021, there have been public reports of wolf activity in the Upper Deschutes wildlife management unit (Deschutes and Klamath Counties), with one wolf counted in the 2021 annual count.
In July 2022, a remote camera photographed an adult wolf with pups. Six wolves were counted in the Upper Deschutes pack during the winter count. The pack produced at least two pups that survived until the end of the year and was recorded as a breeding pair.
Five wolves were documented in the Upper Deschutes Pack during the 2023 winter count, including one pup. The group was not designated a breeding pair.
The Upper Deschutes family consisted of three wolves at the end of 2024, meaning they no longer qualified as a pack.
