Best Solution “In that, I believe, lies the best solution to the wolf problem,” said Collins. “Of course, the natives, as a whole, being primarily a sea- faring people, would rather Ilose their deer than forsake the coast to close herd them. But it would ! seem feasible, and I recommend it as the best possible check, to have a fwe of the families each year| follow the herds, camping with them, and keeping them together, protecting the interests of the whole, while the others remain on the coast to fish.” Warden Collins, in company with Harlan Gubser, predatory animal expert, who returned to Juneau a few weeks ago from an inspection of wolf depredations just south of the Arctic. went first to the Noatak River region. There, early in No- vember, they witnessed the roundup of the Noatak herd, going next to the Kivalina roundup. They found the Kivalina camp to be exceptiox ally well-organized. being run like an army camp, each man having his duty to perform. Of all the larger herds, they found that at Kivalina to be in the best condition, and to have suffered deast from wolves, but even there, the people were able to round up only 15,000 out of an estimated 35000 head, and that only after scouring the whole country thoroughly, even lap- ping over onto the Pt. Hope and Noatak ranges. Trapping Demonstrations At both Noatak and Kivalina, Mr. Gubser gave wolf trapping demon- strations, while on his entire trip Mr. Collins talked to the people on game preservation and restrictions, and found them all very receptive as they are vitally interested in pre- serving their fur resources. “Fur trapping means much to them,” the Warden declared, ‘“be- cause only by selling tHeir fur can the natives get flour and tea and other foods introduced by white men, and which the younger natives consider essential. though the older ones are perfectly willing to get along on a fish, blubber, {nd meat diet. I believe I was the first game officer ever to have contacted most of them.” Mr. Gubser and Mr. Collins next went to Kotzebue, where they sep- arated, Collins flying to Point Lay. “When I landed at Point Lay it was the last time I saw the sun on my trip,” said Warden Oollins. We timed the flight so as to arrivelthe corrals, sixty miles south of|be back in the condition they were thence N. 40° 17" E. 600 ft. t0 COF.} gt there just at noon, on November 19. when the sun appeared on the hori- zon for just a few minutes for the |last time before the Arctic win- ter. Had we not got there just at noon, it would have been too dark to have landed, on what I believe was the latest flight ever made that far north, The pilot immediately took off again to return to Kotzebue, Jeaving me there to go the rest of my route by dog team. At Village Founding | My going to Point Lay was really quite an event to me, as T had been | there before aboard a sailing ship |in 1928, and was in on the founding of the village. At that time, I was with Fred Forslund when he stopped off there to trade and built the trading post that grew into Point !Lay, which under his efforts has pecome the finest village on that | coast, and the most prosperous, neat |and clean. When I had left the {trader ind 1928 I told him I would return, travelling by dog team, and { my statement was fulfilled. I was Ivery well received there. I met my old friend again and was a spectator at dances held for me.” Farthur Traveling From Point Lay, Warden Colling 1wm—nt to Icy Cape, then to Wain- | wright. Natives reported . findine reindeer slain by wolves lying all | through that country. “Wainwright is one of the largest villages in the Arctic, -contzining four stores and !a large school and with a popula- | tion of about 300 Eskimos. At Wain- wright, there being no wood on the beach, the natives built their ‘corml for the roundup from ice iblocks. A tremendous amount of {labor being involved. At the round- {up there, 17.000 deer were counted, but only after the whole country- side had been thoroughly scoured,” |the Warden said. “The natives there {and over most of the Arctic coast, Inow drive the deer by dog team, | where they used to use sled deer, |And, in that lies another oppor- |tunity to lessen the drain on the !deer herds,” he declared. | “The large number of dogs used by the natives are fed a very large amount of deer meat each year. If the natives would return to the |use of teams of sled deer, the herds | would be subject to much less but- chering. A dog team consumes a |deer a day. Besides, the reindeer’s | being accustomed to the dogs makes |it easier for wolves to approach them.” Goes to Barrow After talking to the natives at Wainwright and instructing them !in wolf trapping, Collins mushed to | Point Barrow, making the trip in ;three days, despite storms, travelling jon the ice along the coast, and searching for wolf sign along the way. “The natives in that district have exceptionally fine dog teams,” declared Collins, “and are them- :selves extraordinarily enduring | mushers. Tt is fairly common for |them to cover the hundred miles from Wainwright to Point Barrow a single day, in the spring, and return the next day.” At Points Barrow, Collins found |the dismantled, ill-fated Wiley Post- Will Rogers plane, much in demand for souvenirs.
