To determine the minimum effect of strychnine baits placed for wolves in winter during a program targetting Gray Wolf(Canis lupus) in west-central Alberta from 2005 to 2020, I present a summary of all recorded species killed (n = 522). Fewerwolves (n = 245) were killed compared with non-target animals (n = 277), which included 10 mammal and four bird species.These data provide context on the environmental and ethical impacts of using poison as a component of wildlife management.
