JOSEPH, Ore. (AP) -- The state Department of Fish and Wildlife says a wildlife biologist videotaped a pack of at least 10 gray wolves on Forest Service land in Eastern Oregon.

The agency says the pack is the largest yet confirmed in Oregon since wolves began returning to the state in the late 1990s.

ODFW biologist Pat Matthews videotaped the wolf pack east of Joseph on Nov. 12. Matthews saw the wolves across a canyon at a distance of at least several hundred yards.
