[New Mexico] Reports detail wolf trappings across state
From Yahoo News:
Lifelong trapper Wesley Burris makes a bold claim: His father trapped and killed the last remaining lobo in New Mexico in the 1930s, around the time the subspecies was wiped out in the state.
Burris said his family has been ranching around the San Mateo Mountains since the early 19th century, with as many as 3,000 head of cattle at one time.
“They had lots of trouble with wolves and mountain lions and bears,” Burris said. “That’s where my people was raised. … Back then there was no fences, there was no nothing. It was wide open country.”
