I heard this pair first thing in the morning. Twenty minutes later, the male came over the hill and into a small patch of woods below me. He popped out a couple minutes later and gave me a shot. As soon as I took him out, the female came running out of the woods, and I dropped her.
That was a first for me.

You do have to register with the Municipality first however. You can't just show up with the coyote and expect payment.
Yea it says in the regs it could take 6 to 8 weeks for payment lolnQuote:

Not if you're in King Township it isn't. We're close, but not neighbors.Quote:

It is pretty tough to collect on the bounties;
First of all , a farmer has to contact the county to complain about coyotes killing his livestock, someone then comes out to verify that yes there is a problem with coyotes on this particular farm , then the farmer himself or an agent has to kill the coyote on this particular farm and it has to be verified by someone from the county that yes this particular coyote was shot on this farm in question and IF everything falls in line , then you get your money .
I know of 3 hunters that followed this routine last winter and are still waiting for their bounty money.
It is not as easy as it sounds, as every one and their uncle would be applying for the bounty money. If you want to jump through all the hoops and say yes sir no sir i'll do anything you want sir ? then go ahead
Not sure where you are jaycee, but here in Dufferin, while the bylaw is worded so it looks fairly onerous, it's not really. I won't get into details on here, since I'm writing as a private citizen, and not a member of County staff, but suffice it to say the bylaw on paper looks worse than it is.Quote:

Congrats on the double!
Nice job on the coyotes
Congrats

I thought that all areas stopped paying out years ago?Quote:

I see two posters who "know some people, who....", yet I know firsthand that once the shooter has the farmer fill out the paperwork, ( no MNR visit is necessary, nor are County staff required to come out) that is a matter of verifying how many ears are in the bag, and a cheque req is authorized from Treasury, cheques go out on Wednesdays.
There are two programs out there involving compensation. One is a bounty on coyotes, the other is a compensation program for livestock lost to predation. Are you absolutely positive that you're not citing the latter? That process is indeed more involved, and does require proof of livestock being killed by coyote.
Not saying you're wrong, but somewhere, there is some misinformation going out....if you want verification of my bona fides then PM me.
No. Lots of municipalities have enacted bylaws to provide bounty for coyote kills.Quote:

If their is a bounty on coyotes in Dufferin county, Where do I collect, Because I know about 15 guys with hounds that will be licking their lips this winter......
Songdog, PM sent, I'll help if I can.Quote:
