Non financial incentive for predator hunting

[Gilroy]

Not sure how a coyote contest would be different from a big buck contest.

Is a big buck contest actually legal?

Here's some progressive action from the US on coyotes.
I'm sure that would make some heads explode in Ontario...

Interesting concept-thinking outside the box.

Something alongside the non financial gain thought....

Looks like : if there is a will -there is a way.
Thank You for sharing Werner.

Looks like a great idea to reduce biologist field time and telemetry.
An opportunity for hunters to contribute and be rewarded unlike our backward system that fines you if you fail to report.

"The SCDNR also reports that over the last five years, a total of 80 coyotes have been tagged and released, with another 16 coyotes to be tagged in 2021-22 trapping season. To date, approximately half of the tagged coyotes have been reported taken. Coyotes tagged in any year are eligible for the lifetime license incentive. The specially marked tags provide contact information directly on them. Only the uniquely identifiable SCDNR coyote tags are eligible for the lifetime license as there are potentially some coyotes that have been tagged for research purposes."

...and yet none of these was related to a coyote hunting contest....

Precisely the point. If dogs are being killed by hunters in the absence of a financial incentive offering cash or cheaper licenses would only make the problem worse.

Hard to follow your logic... or lack thereof.

Not necessarily true
