Bounty 



A total of 1,672 claims were received and considered by the Department. 

 Ten claims representing four wolves, eight dogs and two cross foxes, and three 

 claims with which insufficient evidence was produced, were refused. 



While there was an increase in the wolf kill of 11.5-per-cent this year as 

 compared to the previous year, this increase was mainly in the western region of 

 the Province. 



It is interesting to note that 97 wolves were killed by being struck by cars 

 and trucks on highways and other travelled roads. One of the above was killed on 

 the Don Valley Parkway in Metropolitan Toronto. Three wolves were killed by 

 train. While most of the above were killed under accidental circumstances, special 

 permits were issued to hunt and shoot six wolves from a snow scooter and 217 

 wolves from aircraft. This represents an increase of 34.78-per-cent in the number 

 of wolves killed from aircraft as compared to the number killed from aircraft 

 last year. 



A report on the Wolf Research Project will be found in the Research Branch's 

 section of this Annual Report.
