We've had a $50 bounty here for years and they increased it to $100, the problem is the MNR has to do an "assessment" on your property and give you a letter to submit to the municipality, then there are about 3 other forms and you might get the money. They just published in the local paper that in the last 3 years only one person has been paid a bounty.
Possible coyote bounty in ON ($100 !!)
- Thread starter blargon
- Start date
indeed, imagine all the people flocking to the area, hunters and anti a like
turism must be slow there, this time of year
I was at the meeting at the fish and game club monday night. The reason they explained is that in (I think it Bruce and Grey county) thay had the $50 bounty and at first had alot of people out but it has dwindled of and people were not doing it anymore, so they were increasing to $100, so the county thought to start of where it was working in the other counties. The meeting was disappointing though as a houndsman and a trapper almost got into a fight as to which way was better, in front of atleast a half dozen reporters. That does wonders for us sportsman doesnt it!! To get into the program you will need to be pproved before hand, and need 2 farmers signatures to get approved. Then when an animal is killed an afidavid must be signed by the landowner and hunter. Its not final yet, I guess committee approved it but it needs to go to final council next week for approval,
OFA was there aswell and are trying to get the bounty for all of Ontario, but i cant see that happening especially when you need to buy a tag up north, and they are protected around algonquin. Maybe it will take of for all southern ontario though???

Do you think if there is a $100.00 per dog the farmers will shoot them and there will be no hunting signs put up everywhere.
No good will come of this other than frayed relationships with land owners and a dangerous situation caused by inexperienced hunters doing stupid ####.
Right now we would be owed $2900.00 that would be nice but to many problems will occur with that much money to be had.

The question I have who gets how much,
-$50 for the farmers land the yote was killed on or
-$50 for the farmers land the yote was started on or
-$50 for the farmers land the yote lives on most of the time.
What percentage do farmers get if the yote just runs across their land before being killed on another farm.
We need more money and now we also have to hire an accountant.

There's going to be issues with tresspassing and road hunting for sure!...nothing good will come of this just watch some farmers dog is going to get shot by a road hunter or worse......at $100/ea every yuppie in a 100km radius will be out trying to make a living shooting yotes.
Just a brief update...the Ministry of Natural resources wants to do a "field study" on them first to help determine the population. Their current estimate is between 250 and 600 mature specimens in the county. One politician claims to know a trapper/hunter who took over 100 animals alone last year....

We use to have a bounty on wolves in my home area back in the 80's but thanks to other guys shooting them and bringing them to our township for the bounty, the township caught a few hunters doing this and they scraped it.
I shot 86 in '09. A friend 8mi away shot over 100. Just between myself and people I hunt with here we've knocked out more last year then the MNR even say exist here.
...And there are LOTS left. They're very bold out here and reports say that there's a influx of coyotes/Eastern Wolf hybrids. We've had coyotes coming after horses at night in the barns and in the day even with a rider.
We've had a couple good winters for them and with the explosion of turkeys and deer, they're living fat.
The catch is to get in on the bounty it has to be within 15km of an affected farm and it has to be approved. We're gearing up.. I'll be using up some vacation time for this one.
Game on .
