Predatory Animal U'^ork 



Twenty-five cents of every hunting and fishing license fee is 

 placed in a separate fund to be used to employ hunters and trappers 

 to kill predatory animals. The destruction of these animals removes 

 the greatest menace to our game animals and birds for there is 

 no doubt that more game is killed by these animals than by all 

 the hunters combined. These night prowlers know no season, sex 

 or limit and their removal contributes to the saving of game enor- 

 mously, as well as being a great benefit to the farmers and stock- 

 men. The co-operative trappers of this department, the Livestock 

 Commission and Biological Survey killed the following list of these 

 animals in 1924: 



4,080 coyotes 



111 bobcats 



71 skunks 



7 weasels 



488 porcupines 



4 lynx 



73 wolves 

 68 badgers 



1 mink 



1 ferret 

 12 mountain lions 

 29 bear 



Any additional revenue received by this Department will make 

 greater operations against these public enemies possible.
