With bounties on wolves no longer
paid in Michigan. and Wisconsin offer
ing substantial bounties as in previ-
Gus years, county authorities along
the Michigan Wisconsin border are
wondering how a check can be kept
on trappers and hunters who may
enter into agreement to dispose of
the wolf carcasses in Wisconsin ter
ritory. 1t would be easy, it is pointed
out, for a trapper in Gogebic county,
Michigan, to catch several wolves and
turn the hides aver to a Wisconsin
trapper who, in turn, would apply
for bounty under the Wisconsin boun-
ty provisions. While no evidence of
collision by trappers of Wisconsin
and Michigan has come to light since
the nonbounty law in Michigan be-
came effective Aug. IS, it is admitted
that it would be difficult to keep a
check on the trappers.
