A guy that's experienced in hunting and trapping wolfs could make some serious coin.
That guy might be hard to find, since they've been protected for a long time. Might find a couple in Alaska or Canaduh, for that kind of money.
I think there are a few more around than you think. Good trappers are capable enough but when you add in snares they get a big leg up. Wolves cover big country a trapper has to go a long way to get a wolf line out, that costs money.
How often are they required to check traps and snares?
If they collect the bounty can the trapper also keep the pelt?
All things equal, the good trappers will do ok but without using poison the wolves will continue to prosper, they will adjust.
