Canada Pays Big Bounties In 1914 To Wildlife Hunters
The game department of British Columbia paid out 21000 in 1914 to hunters, trappers and settlers for killing wolves, cougars and coyotes. Bounties were 15 per head for cougars and wolves and 3 apiece for coyotes. Claims covered 382 wolves, 280 cougars and 4138 coyotes. Atlin and Skeena districts led wolf bounties. Richmond district saw most cougars, 27 inside city limits near Vancouver. Columbia and Lillooet districts logged the highest coyote counts, 754 and 794. Kamloops reported 624 coyotes and 13 wolves. Destruction aims to protect deer populations, as a single cougar can consume a deer weekly and predators reduce fawns during breeding season.
