"During the first years of Medfield’s settlement wolves and wildcats infested the swamps in and around Medfield and the noise they made much annoyed the early settlers at night. The howl of the wolf was frequently heard and young cattle were often killed by them. Hunting wolvers was a necessary pursuit and very popular among the teenage and twenty-something young men. The bounties offered by the selectmen made the reward for bringing in a wolf’s head quite substantial."
