On November 24, 2009, the body of a Mexican gray wolf, M# 990, was recovered near the Point of Pines area within the San Carlos Apache Reservation. A reward of up to $10,000 is offered for information leading to the apprehension of individual(s) responsible for the death of this wolf.
This wolf was an adult of the Bacho Pack. This pack's territory is known to be in the southeast area of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. Around mid-August 2009, the wolf, M#990, started traveling large distances outside of the traditional Bacho Pack territory. The last recorded tracking of M#990 alive was on October 19, 2009, northeast of the San Carlos Apache Reservation.

On September 28, 1972, the Division of Law Enforcement was created as successor to the Division of Management and Enforcement. A goal of the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service is to continue its wildlife law enforcement arm as the most efficient and professional agency of its kind in the world. The changing nature of wildlife law violations, concomitant with new responsibilities mandated by Congress, necessitates change from time-to-time in the law enforcement program in order to meet these challenges and maintain the national flexibility to cope with contemporary wildlife law violators.
