Bear Bounty 



The Order-in-Counc-il dated August 19th, 1942, which authorized the pa\- 

 ment of Bear Bount\" was superceded b\- the enactment of The Wolf and Bear 

 Bounty Act, 1946. 



The conditions on which b()iuU\" is paid under this Act however, are essen- 

 tially the same. A $10.00 bount>' is paid on any bear 12 months of age or over 

 and S5.00 on any bear under 12 months of age, which has been killed between 

 April 15th and November 30th in Townships located in certain Counties and 

 Districts and of which 25% of the total area is devoted to agriculture. The 

 Act further specifies that the bear must be killed in defence or preservation of 

 live stock or property", by a bona fide resident of the Township. 



The following table indicates the number of bears and cubs killed in each 

 of the Counties and Districts on which applications for bounty have been received 

 during the fiscal year ending March 31, 1947. Some 816 applications on 959 

 bears and 73 cubs were submitted. Of these, bount\^ was paid on 937 bears 

 and 73 cubs and 13 claims concerning 22 bear were refused.
