Ecologist Don Keefe says their research deals a lot with hybrids in the province and there are 41 hybrids with 7 of them confirmed to be mixed with grey wolves.
The bounty on canid carcasses has gone up. The department Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture office collects them to be tagged with a unique registration number to be used in research. Ecologist Don Keefe works out of the Pasadena office. He says they pay $25 for a wolf or coyote carcass and this information is forwarded to the Newfoundland and Labrador Outfitters Association for an additional $35 payment, administered on a first-come, first-served basis to a maximum of 1,400 registered carcasses. Keefe says their research deals a lot with hybrids in the province and there are 41 hybrids with 7 of them confirmed to be mixed with grey wolves. The coyote and wolf collection season runs from September and ends the following July. Keefe says it takes about 3 months for a genetic analysis and they expect to have the results by mid next month from about 300 samples.
