EXPERT TRAPPER
OF CI
ES
W. R. HAMMER8LY, RECORD 390
IN 7 MONTHS, WILLj HELP
EXTERMINATE PE8TS.
W.R. Hammersly, the Government's
best expert coyote hunter, who is
stationed on th Fremont National
Forest Reserve, in Lake county, has
come to Wallowa county to assist In
'-he coyote extermination campaign,
Mr. Haraimersily has a record! of hav
ing killed more coyotes than any
other Government hunter. Last year
Ms record was 372 and this year he
has killed 300 and practically has five
months more, until July 1, He haa
been Instructed to hunf la Wallowa
county four months.
Two years 'ago the Agricultural
Department declde4 to experiment
with official hunters whose exclus
ive duty would be the killing of destructive-
wild animals. Hammersly
was the fifth appointed and his rec
ord for killing coyotes. at,nd far
jeyond reach of his nearest compet
itor. The position pays a salary of
$ 100 a month, and expenses., T
hunter also gets th bounty on all
coyotes killed and Hammersly has
augmented hi pay to 500 and $600
i month.
Bait, Is Experts Secret
"My most successful way of exter
minating coyotes Is toy trapping,"
says Hammersly. "The biggest catch
m. one day I ever made was 18 out
f 22 sets. The best record I ever
made with a rifle waa three. I do
lot go much on poison. Coyotes
have a great deal of instinct and
when they begin to feel sick find
some kind of emetic and expel the
P-olson much the same a if theywere
created by a doctor. About the only
way I have been able to poison them
is by using capsules, so that the
poison will get beyond their stom
ich. But trapping; Is the beat ' meth
od. It is all in the bait. I mix my
)vn halt, and there la the secret.
The Government hunters have
been of more benefit to sheep and
cattlemen than all other offtcal
agencies combined. When sheep and
cattlemen are troubled with coyotes
all .they have to do Is request a Gov
ernment hunter and the pests are
Aoon exterminated; There Is money
In the job, but the standard is high.
Vou must make good. A record of
300 a year Is considered a good av
erage." Mr. Hammersly was born, and rear
ad In Lake county and was always a
crack shot with a rifle and expert
hunter. He ,was formerly a forest
ranger and two years ago took the
Civil Service examination tor Gov
ernment hunter.
