RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – Update at 11:58 a.m.: NDOW says the wolf crossed over the state line sometime before 8:00 a.m. Monday.
The wolf was detected in the high sierra between Mt. Houghton and Mt Rose and is still moving in the north part of the Carson Range.
Original Article: The Nevada Department of Wildlife says a wolf that was recently tracked in the Truckee area has crossed over into Nevada.
The collared gray wolf is part of the Harvey Pack that has been causing issues in Sierra County.
The wolf was tracked to the Donner Lake area near Truckee over the weekend, and as of Monday, officials say it was tracked to a High Sierra location north of Lake Tahoe.
NDOW says there is a history of wolves coming into Nevada for a brief time and then leaving. In 2016, a young male from the Shasta Pack crossed state lines. Two collared wolves from Oregon were reported in Humboldt County between 2020 and 2021, and a trail cam in Washoe County captured a wolf in 2023.
NDOW says that as of now, there is no cause for alarm and that it is keeping an eye on the situation.
