The only state I'm aware of that currently has a bounty is Virginia, but hopefully more will get involved over the next few years.

When I was a boy in Southern Illinois there was still a bounty on ground hogs oddly enough. My Father used to hunt them regularly with a .243 Winchester rifle. In Williamson County the bounty was on the tail and in a nearby county it was on the ears so each one was worth $1 instead of .50 cents. He's save up the parts and a couple times a year he'd go in to get the cash. It was enough to buy a couple boxes of cartridges or a little gas so free entertainment!

Mr. Blaircum,
I guess you cut a hole in ice and jigged for them? ch
Kenny, get any yots? were lucky we don't have a problem with them out here.

Michigan had a fox bounty up until around 1960 or just after. $5/male, $15/female. I knew a guy who actually dug a burrow up with a backhoe for the bounty on the kits. As soon as they took that bounty off the pheasants disappeared almost instantly and have never come back.

Me thinks that makes me step out just a bit too much. My apologies. As God reveals to me .....is not so much what you do...is the attitude in which you do it. I shall dwell on this. Blessings, Lee

PS I also look forward to meeting more of you one day...I am intrigued by the number of you that unabashedly show your passion.
