Since he is being used as part of a scientific study and against it's regulations for it that hunter (if proven) would be fined for it.
And if the OR-7 (or Journey as some kids now call him) can span the state of Oregon and part of California without being killed (starved, run over, shot, trapped, etc.) I think luck is with him and hopefully will be transferred to his pups.
If fate provides then maybe the wolves can be established back in the Cascade mountain range and maybe move onto California!
I rooting for this guy.
