Re: Coyote Bounty in Ontario
I haven't heard, but we sure could use one. I saw a coyote on the expressway right in Kitchener mid-morning today - crossing the collector lanes at Wellington and headed for the main lanes. Crazy!

Grey county does. I called for some info yesterday. Lots of hoops to jump through, its not just shoot a coyote and collect $100. The lady in charge of it explained that if a farmer loses livestock to a pack he has a lifestock evaluator come out and take a look. After deeming that yes in fact the landowner's herd of sheep were wiped out by a pack of coyotes, he gives his stamp of approval. The hunter is then chosen and he is issued a bounty permit that is good for 30 days and a 10 mile radius of the kill site. After all that is said and done you can start killing coyotes. You haul them into the office, they mark the heads and then you wait for you cheque.
Too bad you couldnt drop a coyote off at a municipal office all over Ontario for a property tax credit. Sure would be a lot more guys out there doing it.

Re: Coyote Bounty in Ontario
Just to show how different things are where we all live there are no bounties on coyotes here and they are everywhere. Where I live we have bounties on Cedar trees and the counties will pay you for everyone you kill as they suck all the moisture out of the ground and prevent grasses and the like from taking hold. When we have the gully washers lots of ground is lost as there is nothing holding it because of the cedars.

A bounty is a great idea, but it has to be managed.
If they put an open bounty on coyotes here it would be a madhouse. It changes peoples outlook, it becomes more about a paycheck then a hunt.
Historically bounties have brought out the worst in people, road hunting, bringing in coyotes that were shot elsewhere, trespassing, night hunting..
I think the key would be to figure out a way to reimburse hunters without isolating anyone, I mean to make sure everyone had a fair shot at the hunt opposed to just a select few without opening the county up to "wild west syndrome".
