After more than 200 years of
bloodletting and scalp-collecting
most conservation experts agree
that it’s a waste of money to
set a price on the heads of
foxes, coyotes, wolves, certain
hawks and owls, weasels, crows,
mountain lions and such as
sorted villians. In fact there
is increasing evidence that most
of these are not villians at all,
but are often beneficial except
in isolated cases.
Nevertheless, the bounty sys
tem continues—principally be
cause of two powerful factors:
Pronounced public opinion, es
pecially among hunters, in fa
vor of bounties; and an unhap
py know’edge possessed by con
servation officials that some
predators sometimes must be
controlled somehow, even if the
bounty system doesn’t seem to
be the right method.
According to Outdoor Writer
Bill Wblf there isn’t any good,
factual evidence to prove that
bounties materially reduce
predator populations, or ever
have done so except in small,
local areas. Nor is there any
evidence that most of the ani
mals and birds turned in for
bounties wouldn’t have been
killed anyhow by trappers,
sportsmen and farmers.
Michigan has had unhappy
experiences with bounties. From
1869 to the present, it has paid
more than $1% million in boun
ties on wolves, coyotes and
other animals—and the coyote
has increased nicely, thank you.
One of the few good things
about the bounty system is that
it is the hunters’ money going
down the drain, not the gen
eral taxpayers’.
Predators have been quite
happy under the Pennsylvania
bounty system which started in
1638. Gray foxes are increasing
and expanding their range. Red
foxes have thrived under the
system. There has been no
noticeable decline in weasels,
destructive hawks and owls.
The answer add* up the
same: Bounties apparently do
not control predators. However
predators must be controlled at
times, and if the bounty system
doesn’t work, what will?
States are now trying to ed
ucate their citizens to accept
the logical solution—intense lo
cal war where needed on pred
ators by professional trappers
and exterminators, plus the ed
ucation of farmer-trappers in
the same sort of work.
No one in conservation denies
the necessity of controlling
predators occasionally in cer
tain areas, but all students of
the problem ait coming to the
conclusion that such control
should be the work of men
trained to do the job.
FALL PROGRAM PLANNED
FOR YOUTH CANTEEN
Big plans are being made for
the fall program of the Youth
Canteen under the superivision
