ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - The state is offering cash for people to kill wolves in an effort to boost a predator control program that has not met expected numbers, officials said.
The incentives include offering 180 volunteer pilots and aerial gunners $150 for turning in legs of freshly killed wolves, Gov. Sarah Palin's office announced Tuesday.
The state will use the left forelegs of wolves as biological specimens, said Denby Lloyd, commissioner for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, in a statement. The legs can help biologists determine wolf age and will assist the program in the future, he said.
