South Dakota Badlands 6L Ranch Wolf Hunting 'Bunch Of Greys' 1910 Real Photo Postcard

The scene depicted on this postcard reflects the widespread practice of predator control in the American West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Professional wolfers were active hunters, often employed or compensated by ranching interests and government agencies to eradicate wolves, perceived as a significant threat to livestock and the burgeoning agricultural industry. The term greys refers to grey wolves (Canis lupus), which were systematically targeted through trapping, poisoning, and shooting across vast territories.
