In Colorado, at least, a good many of both species were 
killed which are not included in this list; many are hunted 
and destroyed on the plains in the eastern part of the State, 
away from any of the forest reserves, and this is especially 
true of the coyotes, many of which are killed in this portion 
of Colorado. In Wyoming, in the eleven years from 1895 
to 1906, both inclusive, bounties were paid for 20,819 wolves. 
In Minnesota, from 1896 to 1904, both inclusive, bounties 
were paid on 29,348 wolves and coyotes, no distinction being 
made between the two in that State. I have thought 
it worth while to give these figures, as they show, better 
than any other way that I can express it, how many of 
these animals there are in our Western States, and how, 
being in such numbers, they can be great enemies to the 
stock-growing interests.
