Thoughts?
When I was a kid (50 years ago) the County I lived in (Thomas County, NW Kansas) paid a bounty on jack rabbits and coyotes. I collected $.25 for a jack rabbit scalp (both ears connected by a patch of scalp), and $5.00 for a coyote tail. I only collected on a half dozen or so coyotes, as they were hard to run down on my bike, but I had no problem exterminating many jacks.
.22 long rifle bullets cost less than $.01 each, and I reloaded 12 ga. high brass shells for about $.03 each.
Things are a little more complicated now. Sad.
