Wolves Drive Cattlemen to Consider Leaving West
Wolves in the western Black Hills and into Wyoming are described as the worst in the west's history. Cattlemen near Elk Mountain report losses up to 20 percent, with buffalo‑type wolves killing once nightly and moving on. Bounties total 40 dollars per scalp, but killings are few.
