Nielsen told the Fish and Wildlife Commission, meeting Saturday in Wenatchee, more GPS collars are needed on wolves in northeast Washington, where most attacks on livestock occur.![]()

"We can't cover everything, and if we don't have that data, it is extremely harmful," Nielsen said. "We need far more collars in areas where we're having problems."![]()
