14 DEPARTMENT OF GAME AND FISHERIES No. 9 (1942) 



Bounty was paid to 752 persons who collected a total of $17,550.00, of which the 

 sum of $1,140.00 was paid by County Treasurers on wolves killed within such Counties, 

 the bounty in such cases being paid by the Counties, forty per cent thereof being 

 rebated by the Department. 



From information supplied on the applications for bounty it would appear that 

 500 of these animals were taken by wire snares, 293 were shot, 279 were trapped, and 

 the balance by methods not indicated on the claims. It has been ascertained that 

 Indians were responsible for the killing of 341 of these wolves, 319 were killed by 

 farmers, 199 by fur trappers, and the balance by park rangers, guides, hunters, etc. 



The following table sets forth in detail the sources of origin and variety of the
