capture than did the man know
about how to get them. Each

coyotes becoming more numerous
in northern Wisconsin and are
now menace to stock and
wild game. During the hunting
season just passed-and even at

many partly devoured carcasses
of deer are found almost daily by
trappers and cruisers.

which the Villas county board in

cluded:
