Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 17, September 10, 2024
A. In cases of physical trauma resulting in injury or death to livestock or livestock guard or herding animals, the Division shall determine whether such damage was caused by gray wolves. The claimant bears the burden of proof on such determination and shall cooperate in the Division's investigation.
B. The Area Wildlife Manager or his designee will investigate as necessary and shall in cases of claims in excess of $1,000.00 and may in cases of claims of $1,000.00 or less as is appropriate and necessary to determine the facts underlying the claim meet with the claimant, within 30 days of the receipt of the proof-of-loss form where practicable, and at a time and place mutually agreed upon to attempt to reach a settlement.
C. If the preponderance of evidence indicates the damage at issue was not caused by gray wolves but was caused by big game, CPW will apply the standards codified in Articles I-XVI of these rules.
