What to do when hunting season is over.

[MarketHunter]

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,

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.

ummmm......at times I get a bit too bold on here....may I ask you all to please excuse that. I feel like I know some of you from reading your posts. 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.
