 wolf three months of age or over and $5.00 as bount>' on a timber or brush wolf 

 under the age of three months. 



It will be noted from the following comparative table that more woKes 

 were taken during this last fiscal year than in any year showm, and it is interesting 

 to note the marked increase in the number of brush wolves taken. The total 

 number of wolves taken is unusually large and may indicate that the natural 

 peak in population has been reached, and will probabK' recede during the next 

 few \ears. 



The following is a summary of the number of wolves taken in each of the 

 Counties and Districts, on which bounty was claimed during the hscal \ear
