  • (i) Contact USDA/APHIS/Wildlife Services (WS), or another qualified agent approved by the Director, to verify that the livestock loss or injury was due to wolf depredation; and
  • (ii) If the livestock loss or injury is due to wolf depredation, contact the WDA Predator Management Coordinator to request assistance in managing the depredating wolf problem.

(b) The WDA Predator Management Coordinator will then contact WS, or another qualified agent approved by the Director, for assistance in managing the depredating wolf problem. The WDA Predator Management Coordinator will also contact the Predator Management District President or Vice President to notify them of wolf activity in their district.

(c) Through an established Memorandum of Understanding (agreement) between the ADMB and WS, or contract between the ADMB and another qualified agent approved by the Director, WS or the agent will assist the livestock owner, for a reasonable amount of time as agreed upon between WS, or the agent and the livestock owner at the time when WS, or the agent's, assistance is requested. WS or the agent will provide an invoice to the WDA for the services provided to the livestock owner.
