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!
