THORNTON Once you have heard the symphony of howling wolves floating across the nightdarkened fields whether just once or many times you will not likely forget it for the rest of your life Speaking as con servationist who cannot like one form of wildlife and dislike another and yet remembering that not everyone shares my view am rather pleased to note that coyotes and the more rare timber wolves have evidently matte comeback and are now fairly common throughout the County Within the last two years we have made many sightings of llllltltltl selfappointed ll wolves in south Simcoe and heard them howling many moretimes Although wolves formerly tended to leave the county for more remote and northerly woods in the summer they are now remaining in this area where they live largely on youndhogs rabbits voles an Occasional deer and insects doing several times more good than bad have worked it out this way Groundhogs alone can reduce the livestocksupporting capacity of 100acre farm

Wilson Cookstown area sheep far mer declares that dogs are far more destructive when it comes to killing sheep than wolves Dogs will chase the flock all over the place and so frighten them that they are nervous for days whereas wolves come in and make kill without really upsetting the rest of the flock Of the two or three sheep that he has lost to wolves one was killed not far from the house so ietly that the rest of the flock id not bother to get up Wolves particularly coyotes which may weight 60 pounds may often be seen in the field ir da me Gordon Johns Holly has seen them wandering in the same field that he has been working in with the tractor An by area farmer noted one run ning up the furrow ahead of his tractor and plow My father while cutting hay disturbed one that was sleeping in fenceline at the edge of the field My wife Margaret looking through the open screen door while we were having break fast noted down across the field what at first looked like big jack rabbit but which the binoculars proved to be fine coyote hunting votes in the long grass OLF ltlN On June just as we were about to begin milking we looked out to see three big titu ber wolves trotting one behind the other at about 12 miles art hour up and into the top end of our bush Two days later two Virginia deer went up the same path lhere lgt trail halfway down our farm to the east running north over the road between pine trees across the Nitracrt corn field of Bill Kell and Sons thlford that we call the wolf run One night after we had heard wolves told my wrfe was going to take photograph of their

timber wolves frequently sporting balckish grey phase coat Where dogs tend to travel along roads lanes and ten cclines wolves are more likely to be seen striking out across the fields Most of their traveling is done at an easyground covering trot and they seldom resort to the loping run Just once saw big black timber wolf running and when he came to the ninewire fence down at the bush he never
