in czarist russia, before the emancipation reform of 1861, wolf hunting was done solely by authorized firearm holders, usually police, soldiers, rich landowners or nobles. upon learning of the frequency of attacks on livestock and humans, the czarist ministry of the interior sent agents to western europe in order to learn how the people there dealt with wolf problems. upon returning, the ministry of internal affairs developed a plan in 1846 to deal with wolves involving the opening of wolf bounties and appointment of government hunters. each hunter was given jurisdiction to hunt in one district, with more than one for large areas. hunters were given 3 rubles for each male wolf killed and 1.5 for each cub, with a tail presented as proof. each hunter would receive an annual salary of 60 rubles a year, provided he killed 15 adults and 30 cubs a year. peasant hunters, however, were rarely rewarded, because of corrupt bureaucrats stealing the money. in 1858, after paying the equivalent of $1,250,000 for over a million wolves in central russia, officials became suspicious, and discovered that some hunters bought wolf pelts for low prices, cut them up and handed them to magistrates as wolf tails. in the later years of the 19th century, russian hunting societies began an energetic campaign against wolves. in 1897, members of the moscow hunting society killed their first 1000 wolves, though the number of professional wolf hunters at the time was rather low. serfs began hunting wolves after their emancipation in 1861, though rarely with success, as civilian firearms were highly expensive, and the cheaper ones were usually primitive and unable to bear the heavy ammunition necessary to kill wolves.
