Wardleigh of the city fire department, his son, Raymond Wardleigh, and Clifford- Cave have returned re-turned to Ogden after an eight days' hunting trip in the northwest corner of Boxelder county. They spent -five days in actual hunting and sighted about ten deer, in addition to the two which were killed by the party. While on their trip the Ogden men made some first-hand observations of the campaign for exterminating rabid coyotes in that part of the state. The distant portions of Boxelder county were in the territory most thickly infested in-fested with coyotes a year ago, according accord-ing to Captain Wardleigh, but on this trip verv few of the animals were seen by the hunters. For three days the Ogden hunters were in touch with the operations of A. E. Davis, field foreman for the government gov-ernment squad that is carrying on the work of extermination, and P. R. Pas-kett, Pas-kett, district supervisor. The government govern-ment employees work by both trapping and poisoning the coyotes, and since the , opening of government operations against the animals more t-han 300 coy-; coy-; otes have been killed in that locality, ! according to Captain Wardleigh. The j brains of' many of these coyotes were examined and it was definitely deter-I deter-I mined that the animals had suffered j f rom rabies. |
