Some of our oldest FReepers may remember when there was a bounty on these varmints.

I can remember seeing a dozen or so hung on barb-wire fences along dirt roads in western Oklahoma, `60s.

The good old days, when they were scarce and wary.
When we stop hunting them, they start to hunt us, or our pets and infants at any rate.

All you had to do was turn in the ears. State payed 15 dollars, ranchers paid 10.

Back in the early 70's in Nevada, I used to drink beer with a US government trapper. He regularly would fly as a shooting passenger in a light, fixed-wing aircraft and was paid to shoot yippee dogs. (I guess this story makes me an "oldest" FReeper???)

LOL!
Coyotes, cougars and crows. A fifteen year old with a .22 could make enough money in a summer to live high on the hog during the school year.

Best dog I ever had was a coyote/terrier mutt.
