Bo3_'nty Paments i, Wisconsin.--O. L. Coleman, leader of predatory-animal
work in 
the Wisconsin-Minnesota district, states that during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1929, 
Wisconsin paid bounties on coyotes and wolves amounting to $83,170. He reports
that coy- 
otes arc more or less prevalent over the entire area of both of these States,
although the 
infestation varies in different localities, that bobcats are rather scarce,
and that a few 
lynxes occur in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota. He considers that the wolf
is probably 
more numerous in the northern portions of his district than in any like area
in the Unite 
States. Mr. Coleman further reports that all relationships with officials
of the State 
conservation departments have been extremely pleasant.
