Takers who counterfeited wolf
/ scalps collected from $4,000 to $685.
600 in bounties last year from
northern counties, Secretary Of State
Fred z. Zimmerman declared. Zim-
norman said that the astounding in
crease of money paid out for Wolf
and fox bounties,-from Sal, ia in
/ 1921 to $8O,972 in 1922,-did not indi-
cate that the state was about to be
oyerrun by wolves. There is docu-
mentary evidence available to prove
that wolf bounty has been claimed
and paid on the scalps of dogs, foxes,
raccoons, woodchucks, pocket go
piers, squirrels>and rabbits" he said.
Other cases consisted of wolves killed
in other states and brought to Wis
consin to collect bounties, because Of
the large amount paid. The state
law provides a bounty of $40 for
wolves, SO on wolf pup, and 81 on a
fox, but the counties can increase this
as much as they want to, one-half of
the bounties to be paid by the state
and the other half by the counties.
Wisconsin has paid $502,802 in boun-
ties for animals during the last IL
years, Zimmerman's records show.
The total since 1866 is nearly $1,000,
900.
