In 1958 the PA Game Commission’s bounty on foxes and Great Horned Owls was $4.00 and $5.00 respectively, a good incentive when kids were mowing lawns for 25 cents and some factory workers were paid $40./week. Coyotes and fishers weren’t around then and many boys and men trapped for extra money. Raccoons, possums, mink, weasels, foxes, skunks among the nest raiders. Turkeys were pretty scarce and only in the wildest and most remote forested areas. Fast forward to today .... if adjusted for inflation those same bounties would be about $44. and $54. respectively. Anyone think the RGS and/or Game Commission would fund equivalent bounties to help restore the grouse population? Better for both to beat the drums and get people to be doing bs habitat improvement instead of addressing the real issues.
