HER TELLS HOW
TO TRAP WOLVES AND
COYOTES IN ALASKA
Success of the reindeer indus
try and.future abundance of game
| in Alaska depend to a great ex
tent on the control of wolves and
coyotes, says Harlan H. Gubser, Al
aska leader of predatory-animal
control under the Bureau of Bio
logical Survey, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, in a multigraphed
pamphlet entitled, “Suggestions for
Trapping Wolves and Coyotes in
Alaska,” issued recently.
The coyote, says Mr. Gubser, has
only recently made its appearance
in some parts of Alaska. Uncheck
ed. the animal, it is feared, is like- !
ly to become a handicap more ser- I
ions than even the wolf. The wolf, j
he explains, kills one adult for food. |
but the coyote, preying principally ‘
on the young, kills more animals to!
obtain the same quantity of food, j
Preying upon fox pups and com- I
peting with fur bearers in its quest
for food the coyote becomes a great
menace also to the fur industry of |
Alaska. “Nearly 5.000 persons, seven
per cent of the population in Al
* aska. engage in trapping, and thus
are directly affected by the depre
dations of these animals,” says the
leaflet.
The leaflet stresses the need for
1 cooperation in controlling the coy
i ote and the wolf, and gives direc
tions for trapping them. The author
: discusses equipment for trapping.
; natural and fetid scents as lures,
: and suitable places for setting the
; traps, and describes various kinds
' of sets—trail, scent, muskeg, snow
; and ice sets. “Ten don'ts for trap
pers,” a series of cautions, con
cludes the directions for trapping,
i and there is added a section on den
hunting.
This leaflet, B-1152, may be ob
tained free on request from Leader
Predatory-Animal Control, Post
Office Box 885. Juneau, Alaska. A
leaflet of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, 'No 59-1), “Hints on
Coyote and Wolf Trapping,” deal

illustrations of trap sets and infor
