I keep hearing that this place is paying $650.00 for wolves and that place is paying $550.00 for wolves, etc etc. Can someone give me the straight goods on what outfits are paying, how much and under what conditions? I would like to do some predetor hunting this winter but as we all know hunting anything isnt cheap so I would like to recoup some expense if thats possible.
 
As far as I know, there is no wolf bounty in BC. If I am mistaken, I sure wanna know because $650 a pop quickly pays for a hunting trip!
 
I think someone's pulling your leg brother. Maybe selling hide to a fur buyer,but not a bounty. But all the same, a pack wolves is like a pack of cigarettes, smoke em all. There's a place on ongman road across from the brewery where puralotor was that buys fur, stop in their and ask. North American fur auction or something like that. Short of asking an actual buyer your just getting here say and the prices go up and down.

Properly prepared fully prime timber wolf pelts in good condition (no gaping bullet holes!) should bring between $150.00 - $600.00 at auction next spring. The top end is for fully prime pelts prepared for taxidermy with properly skinned out feet and tails. Also remember you will have to pay the fur-buyer and auction houses their shares as well as the government's royalties.
 
I had heard of a bounty. Something like $100 per skull, but I believe that was for trappers only to get them targeting wolves to lower the numbers. Not sure of all the details though or if it is still in effect or even who was offering it.
 
I have heard that some cattleman associations in northern bc offer bounties from time to time. I don't know the ins and outs but do know a couple fellas that took a couple winters off in the chetwynn/fort saint john area a couple years ago and were getting paid a high enough bounty that hunting wolves all winter paid off for them. I was under the impression that you had to be a paid member of the association first tho
I'll see if I can raise one of those guys on the phone and ask about it.

I was also told by the head CO for 100 mile house that the ministry was no longer dealing with predator control through out the province and that ranchers were basically on their own.

Thomas nailed it, cattleman's association and you're supposed to be a land owner or operator. You'd have to cheat them to collect, the bounty in BC in recent years is essentially an urban myth. Gets spread all the time as a rumour and comes up often in greasy spoon conversations.

What? No one surprised that the BC government used to pay bounty on eagles killed?

Omg! The eagles! I am sooo suprised! Like those beautifull animals!

That better? (I was marginally suprised not enough to post and seems to fit the programs of the 18-early 1900's
