There however, are no animals that destroy so much stock\u003cbr\u003eas wolves and coyotes as they largely live upon the property of\u003cbr\u003efarmers, settlers and ranchmen to which they add game as they can get\u003cbr\u003eit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile these animals are trapped, shot, poisoned, hunted with dogs,\u003cbr\u003eetc., their numbers, in some states, seem to be on the increase\u003cbr\u003erather than the decrease in face of the fact that heavy bounties are\u003cbr\u003eoffered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fact that wolf and coyote scalps command a bounty, in many\u003cbr\u003estates, and in addition their pelts are valuable, makes the hunting\u003cbr\u003eand trapping of these animals of no little importance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne thing that has helped to keep the members of these \"howlers\" so\u003cbr\u003enumerous is the fact that they are among the shrewdest animal in\u003cbr\u003eAmerica. The day of their extermination is, no doubt, far in the\u003cbr\u003edistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book contains much of value to those who expect to follow the\u003cbr\u003ebusiness of catching wolves and coyotes. A great deal of the habits\u003cbr\u003eand many of the methods were written by Mr. E. Kreps, who has had\u003cbr\u003eexperience with these animals upon the Western Plains, in Canada, and\u003cbr\u003ethe South. Additional information has been secured from Government\u003cbr\u003eBulletins and experienced \"wolfers\" from various parts of America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  A. R. Harding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWOLF AND COYOTE TRAPPING\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE TIMBER WOLF.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWolves of all species belong to that class of animals known as the\u003cbr\u003edog family, the members of which are considered to be the most\u003cbr\u003eintelligent of brute animals. They are found, in one species or\u003cbr\u003eanother, in almost every part of the world. They are strictly\u003cbr\u003ecarnivorous and are beyond all doubt the most destructive of all wild\u003cbr\u003eanimals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn general appearance the wolf resembles a large dog having erect\u003cbr\u003eears, elongated muzzle, long heavy fur and bushy tail. The size and\u003cbr\u003ecolor varies considerably as there are many varieties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wolves of North America may be divided into two distinct groups,\u003cbr\u003enamely, the large timber wolves, and the prairie wolves or coyotes\u003cbr\u003e(ki'-yote). Of the timber wolves there are a number of varieties,\u003cbr\u003eperhaps species, for there is considerable difference in size and\u003cbr\u003ecolor. For instance there is the small black wolf which is still\u003cbr\u003efound in Florida, and the large Arctic wolf which is found in far\u003cbr\u003eNorthern Canada and Alaska, the color of which is a pure white with a\u003cbr\u003eblack tip to the tail.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121393615088,"sku":"2940016110936","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016110936","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
