Near Finish in Wolf Poisoning Campaign
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been saved by Big Bend ranches through a wide scale wolf poisoning effort across Brewster, Jett Davis, and Presidio counties. Led by Tri County Agents Miller and Henry Riley of the U S Biological Survey, the drive exceeded its 30000 bait target by 18000, distributing about 45000 baits over 75 square miles. County agents Miller and Mitchell on Crawford Mitchell's ranch oversaw the rounds, with more than 1000 coyotes reported killed. two to three times that number likely destroyed. The campaign united ranchers county judges and banks in a coordinated plan, building on last year’s smaller effort and expanding extermination to save livestock and reduce pests.
