Am mal Damage Control Requested by Ranchers These professionals move in to destroy predators upon specific requests from ranchers who report herd losses or presence of coyotes or other predators in their areas, Mr Hawthorne said In the pest three years, they have killed 10,864 coyotes, 462 bobcats, 25 bears and 41 cougars, as well as nonpredatory ammals largely victim to traps, poison baits and devices (53 foxes, 93 skunks, 111 badgers and S porcupines' The three year total cost of this professional program was $387,029 M 180 133 state and $506,893 federal). That averages to a cost of $S6 64 per predator, compared to an average $1 58 per predator under the companion bounty program The bounty kill is indiscriminate and statewide, however, whereas the professional program tackles problem areas and presumably bags a far higher percentage of sheep killers state-feder- Not All Cooper WASHINGTON (AP) -!weaiher outlook the owih9 an s applied bv the National Wcamer Service 'r- - k t c" '4?
