For the past 10 years the annual kill of skunks has averaged four thous- and and at the latest price offered for snouts would mean an annual outlay of $12,000. This scribe remembers well the night when a large number of sportsmen met and discussed lire feasibility of asking the Provincial Government to plat-e n, hou: y of 50c per snout on all skunks kilicd in the province. For m-me l".‘Flill or other I was suplosed iu he well acquainted with the skunk " ilaiion and was asked hy‘i.iic meeting how many skunks l thought were in the province. When I told them I estimated. them well up in the thousands, maybe eight or nine thousand. . . . many of the members laughed out loud and stated that eight or nine hundred would be nearer tuc mark. y The 50c bounty wcni. into cffccll that spring and in the first 12 months 6.000 (six thousanull skunk snout: were presented ‘or; payment. The next year it was ffva’ thousand. . . eleven thousand in the first two years. After that the. annual lake dropped to nearer the four thousand mark and sgmggnel had n bright idea and suggested that the bounty be raiséi to $1.00 and clean them up in a hurry. The increase didn't have the desir- ed effect and the price was nut back to 50c. When that happened the boys stopped hunting them al- most entirely and officials had no other recourse then to put the bounty back to one dollar. 1 can well imagine that if the bounty is ever put back on at $1.00 the country boys will not be too interested in killing skunks but will sit tight till conditions be- come so bad that authorities will be forced to raise the unte. Dtwlng the last week in March. 24th to 31st, 220 skunk snouts were mailed in or presented at the bounty office at the then current rate of one dollar. April has al- ways been the biggest month as shown by put returns and taking the last week in March as a basis the present April would have shown approximately one thous- and skunk snouts turned in at ‘.11.. $1.00 rate. It wl-ll be interacting to watch the reaction to the substantial bounty increase. Unless the kill is at least 3,000 it makes no appre- clable inroad into the skunk pop- ulation. We have plenty of them. i-n fart far loo many for the good of our game birds and all other species that nest on the ground. The fact that the average annual take of 4,000 over u number of YBRFS Ila! fflilcd t0 halt their steady increase will give some idea of the numbers present. A vsclliating poli-cy will never get us anywhere in controlling the skunk menace and unless some definite plan is adopted and ad- hered to this obnoxious predator, introduced into the province in 101']. will increase in numbers sufficient to cause terrific losses to our wild life as well as our val- uable poultry industry.
