Wolf bounty
Does anyone know if there’s still a bounty on wolves in Mackenzie County?

Suggest you call the county office. Most of the Bounty offers in other Counties like Saddle Hills have quite a few rules around them. You need to make sure you do the stuff needed to qualify.

Bounty or not I shoot them on sight.
Its time for the Game Bios to get on board with a wolf reduction plan.Including a bounty if possible.
The prime Elk habitat along the eastern slopes is becoming more devoid of Elk as the years go by.
This year the Wolves will have it easy with the crusted deep snow.
I am planning on getting out for a week or so in Feb/March to try and kill a few.

Did the County give any reason why they closed it?

I just read why in the county minutes of the February 2020 report.
Lack of funds. 618 wolves tagged. Dollar wise...250.00 x 618 = 154,500.00

Those are good numbers. That’s a lot of wolves. Well done to all the wolf killers.

Obviously, success killed that program. That's a lot of wolves.

618 wolves province wide or how big of an area were the wolves taken from?
Thanks.

I believe this was in MacKenzie County in northwest Alberta. Approximately 30,900 square miles of sparsely populated boreal forest bordering British Columbia to the west and the Northwest Territories to the north.
To put it in perspective, it's about 1/3 the size of Minnesota, with a population of 11,171 in 2016. There's plenty of room for critters outside the cultivated areas.

Greenview county had the bounty on and off over the past 5-6 years.
Seems to be off now unfortunately.
We had cashed in on the $300 ea a few times.

One wolf taken for every 50 square miles if I did that correctly, is a pretty good take. I would guess there was a lot of trapping/snaring involved?

Yeah the way I understood it there was $XXX.xx in the budget for this program and the plan all along was to keep the bounty on until the money was gone.
There's one local outfitter and trapper who spends a lot of time killing wolves and he accounted for a very significant portion of those 618 dogs.
