Wolf and Coyote-Wolf Hybrid Carcass Collection Program
The occurrence of the gray wolf (from Labrador) has been documented by Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture on the Island of Newfoundland. To assist with further monitoring of the occurrence and distribution of coyotes or wolves within the province (including Labrador), hunters and trappers are being asked to submit the entire canid carcass to the nearest Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture office. A $25 fee will be paid to each hunter or trapper for submitting carcasses. Each carcass will be tagged with a unique registration number that is used to identify where and when the animal was harvested and to assist the Department with further genetic analysis work. Harvesters will be required to provide their full name and address for payment and administrative purposes. For more information please contact your nearest Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture office.
