Oregon farmers stunned to see wolf in Malheur County wheat field

Here's the Capital Press article on the subject, by Sean Ellis.  The short version is that a wolf, positively identified as OR22, a young male peel-off from the Umatilla River Pack, is at large in Malheur County where he is no doubt terrifying the defenseless residents, though so far he's not caused any problems.

The animal has been sighted lying in a wheat field, as well as swimming an irrigation canal.  Again, some residents are "understandably" terrified and one citizen commented pithily on the article, advocating an "SSS" policy, shorthand for "shoot, shovel and shut-up," together with some anti-BLM vitriol that leaves little doubt as to his sentiments where the rights to public lands should lie.
