Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 



Page 28 



During the period covered by this report, 1,438 claims for bounty were con- 

 sidered. Seven claims representing 8 wolves were refused, due to the illegal use of 

 snares or the whole pelt not being produced. Ten other claims were refused because 

 the pelts submitted were found to be fox or dog pelts. 



The hunting of wolves from aircraft was authorized during the previous winter 

 season. This type of hunting is proving to be not only interesting and profitable to 

 resident and non-resident sportsmen, but an effective means of taking wolves. 



Hereunder is a computation of the bounty paid in counties and districts.
