PILOTS WINNING
OVER WOLVES
Babe Ellsworth, of Naknek Air
ways, lias a total of 19 wolves
and (> Coyotes to his cr dit, prov
ing that airplane hunting is an
effective means of outwitting wily
predators. John Willotka, of Bris
tol Bay Airways, another success
ful flying hunter, has reported
| the shooting of 5 wolves and 2
j coyotes.
This information has been for
J warded to the Reind' er Service
i by Alfred J. Opland, Unit Man- i
ager in the Southwestern Dis-!
trict, which includes the Dilling'
ham and Naknek areas on Bristol j
i Bay. Mr. Opland also reports j
that 11 wolves, 14 coyotes, 3 lynx,
and 4 wolverine have be n re- \
! ported as killed by others than
aviators.
! Success of hunters in killing ]
1 these predators is encouraging j
. to reindeer owners and to all
who benefit by the privilege of
buying reindeer meat and hides.
The fatal effects of wolves on
reindeer herds is known from
Barrow to Bristol Bay. A rein
deer has no eff ctive defense ag
ainst a wolf; and trappers and
rifle-hunters on the ground find j
odds in the wolf’s favor. But the
airplane hunter can keep the wolf
I in sight and outspeed him. Of
; the 35 wolves reported kill'-d in
the Southwestern District, more
! than two-thirds were shot from
planes.
i Formerly the aviator had lit
j tie chance of reward, other than
' public gratitude, as bounty could
; be claimed only on evidence of
j the wolf hide. For obvious rea
sons, the hunter could not al
ways stop to pick up his game.
Legislation proposed by the Rein
deer Service brought attention
to the facts that fliers wer : hunt
I ing by an expensive method, and
! by the most successful method,
i yet had little material encourage
ment. Accordingly, the recent
Legislature passed a law making
it possible for bounty to be col
lected on a pilot’s certification
j that a wolf has been killed from
j his plane. Reindeer Service re
i ports from the whole length of
j western Alaska indicate there are
ample wolves remaining for all
1 flying hunters to test their skill,
j really begin.
