WORK OF GOVERNMENT HUNTERS
EXPLAINED BY HAROLD DOBYNS
To the Editor Gazette-Times:
I have read numerous articles in the
different county and state pauers
.In. lit Oovermnent hunters and their
work of exterminating coyotes. Being
a government hunter, I wish to say a
few words in regard to the same.
Ad article in one of the late papers
about poisoning coyotes, especially at
:racted my attention.
Poison is not used promiscuously by
'he Government hunters and trappers,
as some people have been lead to be
lieve, but the Oivernment insliuets its
hunters to use poison, only, where It
has been determined that it can be suc
cessfully used, and furthermore if it is
properly used, there is but little rtan
;;er of poisoning birds, other than
crows and magpies, which are pests
that game laws do not protect, .lust be
cause your dog goes away from home
and gets poisoned and there is a Gov
ernment hunter in the neighborhood,
lon't lay it to him; and furthermore,
a man's dog that leaves home is no
good anyway. That is the way they
lsually get poisoned, out prowling
around when they should be home.
There Is far more poison put out by
farmers than by Government hunters,
.egardless of what it may kill. The
crows and magpies are the biggest
nuisance a trapper has to contend with
and at e also a nuisance to the stockmen
and farmers. '
The Government does not kill the
covotes merely for their furs and what
poison is used is to destroy the animal
regardless of its fur, but of course we
save the skins of all the animals that
we can for they are valuable and help
to pav the salaries of the hunters.
A true trapper will not use poison to
kill fur-bearing animals for if an ani
mal is not found shortly after being
poisoned the skin Is damaged to a cer
tain extent. The coyote is a predatory
animal and the game laws do not class
it as a fur-bearing animal.
That the Government Predatory Ani
mal Extermination work is a fake and
the Government hunters are no good,
iis some people say, is absolutely not
so. The Government gives a man an
onnortunitv to move his ability as a
hunter and trapper and if he does notl
make good they will not Keep mm. The
Government hunter's job is not the
map people give him credit for having,
and if any of you doubt it, go out and
'ch a few of the old timers that are
left. The Government hunters in this
iistrict saved about one half million
iollars worth of stock during the fiscal
-ear litis. How much did other hunters
ave? How much was paid out in
'tounties. ? How many' of the coyote;-,
'hat were turned in for the bounty
were old ones? The Government huu
ers work all year round and kill the
old ones as well, which are responsible
for havhng to pay so much bounty on
young ones. It was not the bounty that
-ade the coyotes scarce, but It was
'ho Government hunters. It has been
oroven more than once that the bounty
system is a failure. I have been a Gov
ernment hunter for almost 4 years and
have hunted for the bdunty a great
''enl and I think I know the game
nrettv well. Almost all of the hunt
ing that is done for the bounty is done
in the spring for the dens of young
ones. No effort Is made to capture
'the mother of them, while we are le-
ciulred to get the old mother coyote
with every den, thereby saving the
bounty on a bunch of pups the follow
ing spring. They average about 7 V4
nuns to a litter, and I have found
litters of 14 belonging to one coyote.
We hunt every month In the year,
while others only hunt while the fur
Is nrlme or for the puns, for thev can
not make decent wages hunting for the
bounty.
Our bosses do not accept excuses for
our catch, but we have to turn overl
the skins and scalps, of which a sys
tematic record is kept.
It is true that the sheepmen help the
hunters by giving them board and
horsefeed in return for the good they
do, in killing the coyotes off their
anges. but I have received some
mighty rotten deals from some of
them. One time I was asked to go to a
certain man's range and he told me he
would furnish me with board and feed
ny horse, so I went, I had to turn the
horse on bunch grass and when I was
-eadv to move to another territory he
sked me to go and settle up for my
board with the old lady, and I did. I
caught 17 old coyotes the month T was
there. A trapner earns all the accomo
dation the public gives him.
Home people say, "don't kill the
covotes, they destroy the rabbits" and
contend that was what used to keep
down the rabbits. It is true that
'nvotes kill a few rabbits but what
thev catch has no diminishing effect on
thein at all. As a rule, under ordinary
circumstances it takes two or three
coyotes to atch a rabbit. Judge for
vourself and I think most of you will
sxree that the Government Predatory
Animal Extermination work Is a tine
thing for the country and you will give
its hunters your cooperation Instead
if your knocks. Talk Is cheap but It
takes money to buy whiskey anil I'm
going to keen on hunting for the Gov
ernment as long as I can make more
money there, for It is the almighty
dollar that Is the one great question
that is agitating the minds of almost
everybody today.
