House Bill 1534 Coyote Control Incentive Program

[scottm2012]

I'm surprised no one is talking about this here.

The bill passed committee and is on its way to the floor.

Agree or disagree?

The commission may create a coyote control incentive program
to compensate properly licensed hunters and furtakers $25 for
each coyote lawfully harvested.

I for one disagree, we could spend that $700, 000 dollars elsewhere.  I wrote my rep, who is also head of the Game and Fisheries committee and voted "Yea" to move the vote to the floor, to vote "Nay" for this bill on the floor.

I agree with you..this is a real bad idea that has no place in the year 2013 and beyond....It won't promote predator hunting, every a$$ with a firearm will be shooting at what they think might be money...several nights ago we had a local news item where someone shot a dog with an arrow...SERIOUSLY, WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS? You can bet there not to fond of hunters at that property and the general public gets a negative message, add money to this equation..equals bad idea...I was a boy when we had the fox and great horned owl bounties...didn't work then won't work now...JMO...

BAD IDEA....Every Tom. Dick and Harry will be out there thinking they can get rich by hunting Coyotes, not realizing it isn't that easy.,  Therefore, messing things up for everyone.

This is just another attempt by our legislators to grab money when they can. If I'm not mistaken the bill doesn't say what happens to the money that doesn't get paid out, which means they will grab it in my opinion.

Never thought of that but I know they are pulling the monies from the Game Fund.
