WHALEY S ARE
INTRIGUED BY
‘NEW’ STATES
$50 for pelts you get on top of
the Territorial bounty. It’s just
part of trying to save the rein
deer herds. They’re diminishing
fast. Hunting wolves along the
Seward Peninsula from Nome to
Point Barrow, is best. There’s no
timber for them to hide in.”
Wife Bags Wolves
Many a plane has been cracked
up in the sport, Whaley said, for
a pilot is bound to get absorbed
in following the quarry. Flying
as low as 25 feet, its easy to snag
a wingtip or ski in the snow.
Gunners’ fire ot the plane win- ;
dows and doors, and bag wolves
weighing from 90 to 120 pounds.
It”s fairly easy, bnt not as easy
as you might think, for the planes j
travel from 60 to 85 miles an
hour, depending on their weight.
Mrs. Whaley frequently goes
.vith her husband on wolf-hunt
ng trips with Whaley as pilot and
;he as gunmen. They’ve bagged
as many as seven in a trip. Nor- j
mally, he is busy with hise civic
responsibilities. Before becom
ing territorial senator, Whaley
was an Alaskan representatve for
four years. Before the war he
worked his gold mine, 90 miles
north of Nome. Now he flies mail
and chartered trips for the mili
ary as a pil for Wiein Alaska Air
lines, raveling behtween Fair
banks and Point Barrow.
With the Whaleys on this trip
are both the children, Brownie
and his ister Nina, 6 months old.
Mrs. Whaley a Queene Anne High !
School graduate, visited Seattle
two years ago, but this is her
husband’s first trip Out side in
four years.
The family will talk for hours
always the conversation swings
back to wolf-hunting by air.
‘‘The loss of the reindeer is
really a serious problem,” said
Whaley. ‘‘One wolf has been
known to kill 65 deer in a night,
just for the sport of it. They’re
ruining the and if it keeps up
the Department of the Inerior
may have o feed and clothe all
the Natives who now depend on
reindeer, jt’s pretty easy to shoo+
hem going 60 to 80 miles ana
hour, but if we ha helicopters
it would be duck soup.
‘‘Don’t get the idea it’s fun to
shoot the wolves. They’re beau
tiful animals. If it weren’t that
they’re so predatory, I wouldn’t
have the heart to shoot them—
